The past couple months my relationship with Marjorie has been exactly what it should be: friendly, companionable, and.....safe.
Then Monday it made a slight turn, that started with her asking me, "What time are you going to work out?" which was followed by, "Mind if I come along?"
All week she had me at her side to "help" her work through stuff that she shouldn't have needed help with. It was a little confusing, and did involve lots of questions and phone calls and emails, but nothing she couldn't have handled by herself.
And she also invited me to go grab a coffee. Normally it's a quick trip, but...I dunno.
All week I was getting strong signals that she needed to have me around.
