Dear T,

That session meant a lot to me. I felt the connection (despite being virtual and with your new office as the backdrop) that had been missing lately and certainly wasn't there at all last week. It felt like you wanted to heal things, too. And, like I said, that we were listening to each other.

Your stating that how much stuff in the move was in fact outside of your control, but that you were ultimately the catalyst for it all was the sort of responsibility I felt I needed you to take. And reiterating your apology about its effect on me.

And that was the fish behind you, next to the empty aquarium, right? I felt odd commenting on it, on the off chance I was seeing it wrong. Was it there yesterday, and I just didn't see it? It seemed you shifted your chair intentionally today to get it in view, so I think I'm right. I guess I should have said something. If it is that, it means a lot that it's there, despite the recent conflicts and your not loving it as a piece of decor.

Love,
LT
