“She knew she had to have the upper hand. She knew she could not be too available, even though a small part of her wanted to be.

She knew she had to wait it out, and “play it cool” as the younger kids say. Because- if she waited it out, then her answer would come.

She was just uncertain what that answer would be.

May she did though. Maybe she did know the answer. If she did, what was she questioning? Just let it play out and be patient, even though it is dangerous…and wrong.

She had to know, because right now there was no risk, and for now, she would continue to push that voice aside that told her,

there is always a risk.”
