Esme I held my breath as I waited for him to respond. I could tell he was mulling it over. Trying to process my decision and how he felt about it. Although that shouldn’t have taken long, I already knew how he was going to take it, badly. I just wanted him to hurry up, to rip the band aid off, so to speak. “I’ll start getting everything packed up, but it will have to wait a little while, at least. It’s a long distance to be travelling with three newborns.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He had completely changed his stance, and I had no idea what had prompted it. I might have been more comfortable with it if I had at least understood. I might have been uncomfortable with his sudden change in stance, but it wasn’t worth going through it all. We had time to discuss it further. Jack
