Dear T,
Thanks for explaining more about the emails today. It helps to know how much thought you put into it, that you feel bad for my distress, and that you're trying to be mindful of not charging me for email so I don't stress about it. It helped to sort of see inside your head for a bit. And it's good to know you think I'm "interesting" (I know you meant it in a good way). What was up with that random advice request at the end though? I guess...you trust my judgment? I mean, it was an extremely low-stakes issue, just odd you asked me about it. (I promise not to put you on any nonprofit mailing lists.)
Love,
LT
