Dear MC,
Yeah, I think all this anxiety about you not writing back is from me saying last week that I felt safe with you (even though you responded to that e-mail!). I just feel like I shouldn't have said that. Now that I've admitted it, you'll abandon me. Either by choice or, like, dying of cancer or something. I know, this is magical thinking at work, but still worried.

And if you don't respond before session tomorrow, OK, you're busy, and I didn't explicitly ask for a response to the handshake thing (and you'd already responded to H) or my brief response to your e-mail. But if you don't try to find some way to shake hands pre-session (like what I suggested), or at least mention the topic, then I'll be concerned. Well, actually, I'll just bring it up, because either that will happen at the start of the session or it won't.

Also, worried that you or we will have to cancel for some reason, and this will just remain floating around in my head till Monday.

Sigh...
Love,
LT
