Steve e-mail Dec. 26 2:53 p.m.: I just read the last e-mail I sent you. I'm sorry, but asking for a cell# was inappropriate on my part (the martinis and Chardonay influences again). Strike that request. Invasion of privacy I'm sure. Missing your texts, me
Peggy e-mail Dec 26 8:51 Again, I apologize for getting so heavy the night before last. I'm prone to let things get to me, sometimes. Forget I said any of it.
I'm not really in the mood to socialize with anyone.. just want to do some reading and have a bit of quiet time.
Hope you had a great Christmas!
Peggy Irish, e-mail Dec. 27 10:19 p.m.: Would you still like to exchange cell numbers?
Steve: (Sipping my first cup of coffee, letting cats out, finding myself deep in thought all of a sudden)
Wow, I didn't expect that invitation! The idea of it really pleases me. I'm very grateful for your offer of human kindness.
Bottom line though-I don't know...I worry things can become complicated. Of course I'd love to hear your voice in a spontaneous exchange as I've mentioned before. I think now, though, that I should save that treat for when we find ourselves at some vegan or photography related event. I can't believe I'm saying all this because I know deep inside I want to say yes.
Certain circumstances factor in to a new phase such as this would be for me/us. Awkwardness, for one. I leave my phone in all sorts of places here at home and......well....Your thoughts?
me
P.S. I want you to know, I have enjoyed every single one of our exchanges. All of them. Perhaps e-mails get close to a phone call and would be best.
Your thoughts?...again.
