. the only thhing i wouldn't have been certain of was the reason for his reticence .
me ? for the moment at least , i preferred to dwell on the fact that it was swet of alan to offer to meet me at all when he realized i was upset . although my tears had always been hard for him to ignore , he didn't have to make the offer to see me . and he didn't have to agree to my suggestion to strawberry field as a spot for our rendezvous .
he would not have missed the allusion . alan , as husband or therapist , has always been big on allusion . so i knew he still cared .
and that is precisely why i suspected he hadn't called .
i shouldn't have started running when i saw him waiting on the far side of the garden , but i was thrilled that he was in the city and that he'd offered to change his plans and com and hold my hand . but i did start running , and once i'd started - although my new jimy choos were perfect with my outfit , they were far from the right shoes for a jog , however abbreviated , in the park - i had no confidence that i'd be able to stop withut catching a heel , or worse , riping one of the woven gold ropes that had started slicing into the tops of my feet , i just kept running until i could use alan as a safe way to control my momentum .
