Elyse listened, noting how calmly Mae spoke. It helped the pain that she had said Elyse had done nothing wrong. It also helped that Mae still wanted to be here. Elyse could feel her fear diminishing, leaving room for more rational thought.
The rest of Mae’s speech was listened to without interruption, and it all made sense. Elyse had wanted to comment on Mae commenting that she had played a role in her feelings, but she remained silent. Mae knew what she could do better than Elyse could.
The speech spelled out a lot, something’s wet thing Elyse knew. Others were things she thought she knew but had misunderstood. Elyse had not known that Mae had not been looking for love, but it made sense. Elyse was surprised that she wasn’t taking this as hard as she had thought.
She sat up as Mae finished, letting go of Mae’s hand not because of what she had said, but because the angle would not be natural. She stayed close to Mae.
”I enjoy our time together and the sex too. I want you to be here too.” it was something they both could agree on, and seemed a good place to start. ”Before we get too deep into this - I want to say something. If things need to end - I want to be able to stay friends - even if that means we need some time apart to heal. I don’t want to fight, Mae. But this needs to be talked about and I want to do it in a way that we both can figure out what needs to happen - for both of us. Can we do that?”
