I had a coffee with Julie yesterday. This time
I’m being open, this time I’m being upfront. I told her about Elvina and how
she appears in my dreams, and how I’ve developed the notion that she is connected
in some way to them. Of course it was totally possible that Julie may have
raised a sceptical eyebrow at this, and to be honest I think she restrained
herself. (I liked her even more than I did already for that.) As obviously it’s
more than likely that I appear utterly delusional when explaining all of this,
and maybe Julie’s desire to be sympathetic would have been sorely tested and strained
if it wasn’t for the email address which had been pressed into my hand. The
surprise at that news was impossible for her to hide, but it was a pleased
surprise. Even though this is beyond Julie’s realm of experience, even though
the tendency of any normal person would be to view me as ‘weird’ or ‘mad’, she can
perhaps see a glimmer that there might be something more – something which
needs to be followed – in what I’m saying.
We held each other close at the end and kissed
softly. Julie promised again to be with me throughout all of this. I don’t know
if we’re just really affectionate friends now, or whether we’ll become lovers,
but I’m just glad I have her at my side.
