I would have hopped on a plane, taken a cab to her apartment and when she answered the door I would have beaten her to a bloody, toothless pulp. I'm serious. I'm amazed at your restraint.

SO poignant. I especially loved this line: <i>I'd meet her big, false-feeling grins with smiles that didn't quite reach my eyes.</i> Excellent writing as always. SO poignant.

After all, didn't I have my own weird friendship laced with sexual tension? Did I even have a right to be upset? Was he really doing anything wrong? And hadn't I read his e-mail? Ought I to have done that, even if what came out of it showed that I had a right to be concerned?"<br/><br/>I have so been there...those damn questions racing and racing and racing...

Now I wonder if I will ever be able to ignore those first gentle ripples, knowing of what futures they whisper.<br/><br/>When I saw those first ripples, I was "reassured" they were "nothings". Harmless nothings. I'm not yet as compassionate as you, my dear. I still see dark things swimming in those waters that I want no part of. I hate, every day, that my trust was shattered for "addiction".<br/><br/>On another note, please take a trip over to my humble place and tell me what you think of my new project. I would be quite interested in recruiting you. I know all about those pebbles in the pond.

When did she see that first little ripple that could have served as a warning of their future life together? What was her first warning that his drinking would spiral out of control and destroy their relationship?<br/><br/>This is a great entry Mary. Though I have to admit, my very first thought upon reading it was, "They had internet 15 years ago?!" Haha, I have to realize that 15 years ago really isn't that long ago AND we had a computer too! Of course it wasn't named Abby or anything as cool. I wonder if my mom could tell a similar story about my dad.
