Click hereWe could work something out. I could ... What? Support her financially so she could quit? Support her emotionally so she could cope with her work even if I wasn't part of it anymore? Of the two of us, she knew what either one of those would take, and I had no idea.
"Okay," I said. Gloria finished with my hand and laid it back down. The whole arm felt like a limp noodle, in the best possible way. Walking around the head-end of the table, she began working on the other side. "But what if - just hypothetically, let's say - what if it reached the point where I decided I loved you, and told you so?"
She laughed. One hand left my bicep to pat me on the cheek. "You're so sweet. It wouldn't make the least bit of difference at all. Just like it wouldn't make any difference if I told you I loved you. And don't pretend you don't know why it wouldn't make any difference. Let's just be happy with how things are right now, okay? Because they're good, aren't they?"
I was on fire to grab her and pull her down into my arms.
"Yeah, they're great."
She finished my massage and we watched part of the game from her couch, with me following her lead when she put her stocking feet up on the coffee table. We didn't sit close enough for me to put an arm around her, but once in a while her toe inside her sock touched mine inside mine.
And really, that was enough.

IanSaulWhitcombover 2 years agoAuthor@Anonymous (I am enjoying ...):
thanks for letting me know. I think one of the important elements in this story is that Gloria has built up some mental walls as defense mechanisms. One of those is undoubtedly to view Kaylee's objections to her work as typical mother/daughter conflict and the contrariness people of Kaylee's age often take on when learning about their parents' fallibility. By dismissing her daughter's concerns as normal teenage resentment, she's better able to avoid facing up to things about her work that could easily weigh a person down. Another defense mechanism is that she doesn't feel she financially has much choice about things.
As you may have seen in part three by now, both Kaylee and Gloria have some fact-facing to do!
Anonymousover 2 years agoI am enjoying this so far through the two chapters I've read...but Gloria seems like a very selfish mother without regard for her daughter emotionally. Daughter has made it clear multiple times that she is disgusted and is sad her mother is a hooker. Gloria casts those feelings aside quite easily. Like I said, I am enjoying the story. Just had to say my two cents on Gloria.
IanSaulWhitcombabout 6 years agoAuthorGlad you appreciate the complexity of the relationship, but sorry I’ve frustrated you! Hopefully the last chapter eases some of that frustration...
Thanks for reading!
Anonymousabout 6 years agoNot sure whether to smile at the progress or frown at the sad truths.
He's trapped as much as - if not more than - she is.
It's a very well written story with one of the more complex and lovely relationships I've encountered.

IanSaulWhitcombabout 7 years agoAuthorRealism isn't always my goal, but this particular story compelled me to work for more believability than most of my work. I started it off planning to write a silly comedy, but the characters developed so quickly and strongly in my head that it went in a more realistic direction.
I'm glad you liked it that way!
