Dear T,

Where did that come from today? Was it spontaneous or a question that you have had for some time, but what I told you today gave you an opportunity to ask it.

It is a question that needs talking about, for sure. It is also something that I would need to think, seriously, about. It would be weird, for sure, but maybe weird is good?

My gut says that I would love nothing more than for you to come to it. My head isn't so sure. My head says that I don't want to do anything that could jeopardise what we have now. But it also says that I don't think we would do that. I think we are both open and honest and sensible enough to be able to manage it, and I trust you enough to play your part in that.

I would like you to see a different side of me. I would like to see more of you. I would like, when you retire, for us to be able to continue seeing each other in a non professional way and maybe this could be a first step to that.

I like the fact that you would want to come, and to be honest, the more people the better, because it means more money!!

So yeah, lots to think about, and to talk about, but if it was spontaneous, I am glad you said it. Thank you.
