Daniel, he is so broken he makes me look whole.”
“I can’t even imagine how he is surviving, if anything happened to Aidan…”
“I know.” I whisper, the thought not one I want to dwell on.
“So where did it go wrong?”
“I woke up in his arms and I flipped out. I told him to leave. That it was wrong, what we had done. I think I broke him more.”
“So go and see him and tell him, explain. From what you’ve said. He will understand.”
“He sent me roses, to say sorry and he text me, to apologise. He wants to go for a coffee this weekend.”
“Then go for a coffee.”
“Ginny, I’m not sure I can.”
“It’s a coffee, Katie. He hasn’t invited you to a swingers club or something.”
I laugh then, in-spite of myself. The thought of Daniel in a swingers club. He could be into that for all I know, I doubted it, but it could be possible.
“I’ll go for a coffee. I’ll explain. He deserves that.”
“And you deserve him. You deserve to have a friend who helps heal you and by the sound of it, you heal him too. Maybe you can put the broken pieces of each other back together.”
“Thank you, Ginny.”
“No need for thanks. I love you to the moon and back, Katie. I’d do anything for you.”
“And I you.”
“Now, don’t wallow. Do you want me to come over and pick up the things you sorted? Get them out of the bedroom?”
“Would you? I can’t look at them anymore. I’ve said goodbye to him, so many times, and the clothes, they won’t bring him back.”
“I’ll be round as soon as Ryan is back.”
“Thank you. I can’t thank you enough for everything.”
“You don’t need to. Just get better sweetie, become you again.”

I text Daniel back and agree to meet tomorrow morning for a coffee. I try to explain in a message what happened, but I don’t think I do a very good job of it. His reply makes me smile, I don’t know Daniel very well but it seems so him.
Daniel: Nothing to be sorry for. We will work this whole thing out. I promise you that. I’ll have a mocha with whipped cream ready and waiting for you. D
I stay in the lounge while Ginny brings the bags downstairs and loads them into her car. She pulls me in for a hug before she leaves. She whispers in my ear, to let myself feel again, that although it was scary, it would be okay. I did believe her.
I spend the evening watching Frasier and giving myself a manicure. I laugh and by the time I go to bed I have a smile back on my face. It still feels a little strange. I’d left the wardrobes open after I finished clearing out, Ginny had closed them thankfully and straightened my bedding. I brush my teeth, wash my face and slip under the sheets. I wasn’t tired yet, but I wanted to get comfortable. I pick up my kindle and switch it on, ready to lose myself in a fictional world for a few hours. It works, I fall asleep and don’t wake up until the next morning.
The sun is shining and the sky is blue when I wake up. I step out onto the little balcony I have outside the bedroom and inhale the sweet smell of summer. The sky was so clear today. Deciding to have breakfast in the garden, I make myself a bacon roll and a cup of tea and take it outside. I turn my face up to the sunshine and smile. Today was going to be a better day, I wasn’t going to overthink everything, I wasn’t going to question how I felt or why I felt it. I was just going to live. One day at a time.

“Katie, thank you so mu — ”
“Rule number one, no more thanking me. I’m going to explain everything about how I felt today and then, no more talking about it. We need to move on Daniel, I have come to treasure your friendship in the short time we’ve known each other and I don’t want anything to spoil that.”
He smiles at me, a smile that reaches his eyes, which is so rare right now. I smile
