Subject: Apologies

So, I don't know if you're avoiding me or we just keep missing each other but I want to apologize for yesterday. I'll try to let you know ahead of time when I'm gonna bring someone home next time. Let me take you out for lunch or dinner or something to make it up to you, okay? Or buy you alcohol. Your choice.

Subject: Valentine's Gift??

I suck at this kinda stuff. What's the protocol for gifts for a guy you've been kinda seeing for a month, aren't sleeping with and who knows you've got a husband in another country?

- Lil

PS: It totally sucks that YOU are the one that I have to ask.

I believe it is approperiate to buy him something. Please clarify any somethings that you have in mind.

First, I can't dress myself and now I have to clear my gift-giving through you? Why don't I just go for lingerie and kill two birds with one stone?

Seeing as he was a cop and probably already has a pair of handcuffs, I was thinking a nice bottle of something alcoholic.

Subject: indeed

Lingerie is a better idea. Bishop appears not to be able to maintain a collection of alcohol but serve himself on a frequent basis, therefore, I am positive alcohol will serve its purpose too.

Why not simply get him drunk and seduce him with the lingerie as well?

Subject: ugh

We're not sleeping together and I don't have plans on that changing anytime soon which kinda defeats the purpose of sexy things for bedtime so no lingerie.

I think I'm sticking with a good bottle of something unless Professor Higgins has any other bright ideas?

Subject: Lingerie shopping would be interesting

Why resist it? It would make separation that much more bareable.

Try Maker's Mark. It's some poorly made whisky that he appears to love.

Subject: I am NOT going lingerie shopping with YOU

Because I just got outta a 7 year long relationship and I'm not gonna jump into bed for a quick fuck with the first man who shows any interest in me, that's why. Any other reasons we have are none of your fucking business.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it.

You need to get over the first before you do the second.

Subject: Because I painfully point out a truth you do not like

You are very sensitive to talk about your marriage. Whatever demons you have with that must be solved or it will carry on into whatever it is that you have going on with Bishop. The fact that you do not merely spark but you blaze with fury at the mention of your marriage is evidence of that.

I asked you for gift suggestions not relationship advice and am not having this conversation with you over email. Or ever, in fact.

My marriage and its demons are my business and only concern me, my husband and whoever else we are involved with, none of which are you so fuck off. I don't need marital counseling from you and I sure as hell don't fucking want it.

Calm yourself. You are far too angry in this and about what? Me questioning a marriage that no longer is? This makes me thankful I am able to shield.
