I know I didn't, Sweetheart. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any reason you wanted me to stay away anyway.
That's...uhm. Okay. Right. I'll...
...what?
I'm alright. Getting better physically. Coming to terms with things emotionally is taking longer, but I'm getting there too. I have good days and not so good days. I think having Peter back will help a lot.
No Thomas, not at all. I don't want you to stay away. You're a good friend to me, and I know you and Kat are far closer. I want things to be good between you, too. You probably have stuff you need to work out together, but know that I'm more than okay with that. I'm completely supportive of your friendship.
Kat and I talked. I mean, obviously... anyway, we worked things out. If Kat wants to sleep with someone else, she can. So long as I'm participating as well. It seemed the most logical compromise. We'll have to see how it works in practice, but there's the theory.
And I wasn't being serious, I know you'd never sleep with someone outside your marriage :)
Having Peter with us always helps a lot. I'm glad there are good days, and I hope they keep getting more frequent.
I love Kat very deeply. I just don't know if I trust her yet. It'll come. Thank you, Alessa. Very much.
Ah. No, that makes a lot of sense. And you're right, I wouldn't be one to take you up on that. But it's a hell of an offer to anyone you're offering it to. You're both incredible.
I know you do. She loves you too. You're welcome... it'll be good to see you together again, when it happens.
Now it's my turn to thank you. I hope it's something we can both be happy with. I love Kat. I don't want to be holding her back from anything she wants. Now that I get to share that with her, I feel a lot better. This marriage thing isn't so hard after all :)
You're welcome! Honestly, as long as you both agree, I think it will be wonderful. I have two relationships. I am with two people who aren't with each other and I think for most people, that might be a nightmare. But I love it, I love them and thank fuck they like each other. I'm careful with them and I listen to them and I share with them. We all agree on each other. They know they're safe with me. As long as you feel like you can be honest and you know you're safe with her, I think you'll be more than fine. And knowing Kat, she'll do everything in her power to make sure that happens.
Your relationships are so beautiful, combined and separate. The three of you are so lucky to have found each other. I can see that if anyone could make a relationship like that work, it's you, Mary and Spectre. You just seem to complement each other perfectly. The fact that you can offer so much to two people, without them being together themselves, is astounding.
I really feel like we can be honest about anything now. We've encountered a big hurdle for our marriage, and gotten over it. I think that's going to make a lot of other things easier as they come along. I know there will be more challenges, but we'll handle them :)

How are you doing, Thomas? Feeling better?
