Comforting Conversation & Self-Discovery

Talking to him eased some of the anxiety I've been secreting away the last few days. Of course it did, its him. Talking to him always puts the worst of my emotions in check, even if we don't talk about whatever is triggering me. He's good like that, our bond works that way.

Over the last two days hes called 4 times, twice just to say hey and keep me apprised of his doings.

He's not great, but hes okay. He's in a motel until tomorrow I guess, then his handler/aunt  will be letting him move onto one of her properties i guess im hearing; him and Monte. Not the greatest arrangements, but better than on the street. And his handler wont let him get away with some of the bs hes been pulling, any more than I would (maybe less so).

Oh, and Monday he said something to me, without prompting, that left me speechless.. "You make me feel free. You make me forget that I hate myself when im around you.." and all I wanted to do in that moment was make it a permanent thing. I wasnt sure how my presence helped him; now I know.
