Dear M,

In the past two sessions (and never previously) you've stood up and tapped my shoulder right as I'm leaving. Not a pat or rub. A tap, with one fingertip. It's interrupting my routine of scuttling out all skulkily so that I don't have to make eye contact. I have thoughts about this:

1. You should ask before you touch me! I learned about all that asking stuff because YOU taught me! You ask every other time, why is the tappy thing exempt?
2. I would prefer it to be a hug. I really want a goodbye hug, we've hugged and used touch in other contexts but never in greeting/parting. The shoulder tap is startling to me. And it feels like a substitute hug. Let's just make it a hug, ok? Since it seems like we both want one? Deal?
3. I'm amused that you're as awkward about this as I am. Come on M!
