in an open relationship 2

Once again we find ourselves sitting opposite the Mrs Herd of this generation, I've caught on her style ,bland ,all her clothes are bland , there's not much life to them , if she decides to wear brown then her jacket and every other clothing she has on including her shoes will be brown .

She greets us and opens her notepad, I didn't notice before but she has a ton of notepads beside her desk and behind her is a shelve filled with other tons of notepads with different colours.

The one she has right now is titled "L and E " , she must be lazy to write our full names.

" Here we are again" she says like she's optimistic but her face is in contradiction .

We politely nod to her.

" Fill me in on your week , how are things since our last session?" She asks .

I look at him before answering not sure if I should be honest ," the same " I try to say it gracefully.

" Um " she nods and notes it down"Mr Price?" .

" I agree with her ",he loosens his tie .

" Same as in ,you wake up, get ready, Mr Price makes the breakfast and then you are off to work , eat lunch together, go home,Mr Price cooks again and we call it a night?" She stares at us .

We nod in agreement.

She sighs and writes it down ," our one on ones start today , we'll start with the wife ,Mr Price will you excuse us ?" She says dismissively.

He leaves the office and all of a sudden nerves grab my chest , she's really intimidating.

" These walls are soundproof don't worry" she assures me as she goes behind her desk and start searching for something.

" Huh?" .

" Isn't that why you look so scared ?" She looks up ,"  Or are you just afraid of being alone with me ?. I don't bite , I'm the good guy here " she continues her search.

After a few seconds she comes back to her seat with a recording device , I feel all the more fearful at the sight of it . It's almost as if I'm in the interrogation room with the strict detective who will throw punches at me until the truth comes out .

She turns it on ," on our first session you mentioned that you were always in love with Mr Price, care to get more into detail about what you love about him" she questions me in her usual stale manner.

" I don't know" I answer honestly.

" How can you not know ?. let me try to rephrase then , what do you like about him ?" .

" What I like about him " I try to think ,"his drive , I like how focused he is when it comes to work , and I think I'm more in love with the old Ethan , I have a long list as to what I like about that version" .

She seems to understand what I'm trying to say ," what was the 'old Ethan' like ?".

" Extremely caring, sweet . sensitive,he had a habit of seeping into my emotions,he was sad when I was and happy only when I was" I blush thinking about those good old days.

"What about Physically?, Were you only attracted to his inner person?".

" He has always been good looking but not as he is now back then he was more of the average looking guy for me , the guys I used to date were ten out of ten ,I think that's why I never let myself ponder on the good guy that was always next to me , as a teen good looks was my key focus.. now I'm more attracted by his physical appearance more than his emotional side , that's the side I'm eager to see and know " I explain.
