Dream
I had a continuation of my dream earlier with Heather. I was in my loungeroom and we were messaging, only very light and casually. She said she would like for me to meet her partner, which was something I was reluctant to to see ith her previous partner and I feel wholly responsible for their splitting up. But for her this time I agreed. Time flickered forward and she was at her same address as always, I felt my gut rolling as I knocked on the door. She answered, but her partner wasn't there. We greeted each other with a simple "hey" and I proceeded to say, "I'm hoping we can talk about everything, as I feel there was lots of miscommunication and Chinese whispers".
I fully expected the door slammed in my face, but she stood there looking at me from the top of her stairs by the front door. She wasn't smiling or angry. I think maybe suprised I was there, and maybe anxious.
In real life she told me she is glad she never gave me a second thought. It still rounds to me now. When she just stoos there at the stairs the awkwardness of silence woke me up.
