Bonjour, mon Coeur

I’m proud of you!

Alex told me he’d taken my advice: he’d decided to be honest and to stop drinking for a while. When we met I told him that drinking too much was a problem. One had to sleep the stupor off. It wasted time. “That’s the most intelligent thing you’ve said in this time.” I’d protested. “No, it’s not like that.” He thought me intelligent.

Feeling fine now. I felt confused and overwhelmed. Settling down and getting on. Wonderful to speak to you. I needed to hear your voice. Very manly, very you. I was comforted. Thanks for yo…

I’d sent the e-mail unintentionally.

Thanks for your concern. I’m glad we spoke. I’m feeling fine now. Work is okay. They’ve all missed me. It’s just that I’ve been gone too long and there’re a lot of loose ends to tie up. I struggle to concentrate on things with you in mind all the time. You can’t help that. My folks’ve added to the stress but it’s weekend and I can rest

I love your e-mail. Keep it coming. My e-mail is down at home so I’ll SMS this weekend and keep in touch.

Hi to all. Enjoy your time with the baby. You’re in my thoughts.

Ciao

Lisa
