Later that night, after Baby Girl was sound asleep, Thos and I laid in the living room of my new house. It is still not finished, and we laid on bits of wallpaper and laughed about how "soft" they were! I looked at him and asked what his expectations were of me. I explained to him that I did not want or need a serious relationship right now. I am still fragile from the divorce. I need time to adjust and rediscover who I am. He said he understood and that that was fine with him. And then, as a total surprise, he turned to me and said... "You know, I want to talk about this self esteem issue you say you have. You say you think you are not attractive, but I have to say that I think you are amazingly beautiful. For the past two days, I have studied you from every angle... I have actually been looking for something wrong with you, but I have found nothing. You are perfect. Your body is perfect... you have gorgeous curves, a sexy flat tummy, perfect face... when you were on top lst night, your bady did amazing things. It moved so beautifully... so perfect."

I was stunned... and flattered. No one had ever said anything like that to me. And he was so sincere...
