Wow.
Me
It gets better.
It’s a king suite, so there’s only one bed.
Megan
OH MY GOD. Are you sharing a bed?? Please tell me you are.
Me
Nope. He’s too stubborn. He slept on the couch last night, even though I offered to, and offered to share the bed. And now he’s all grumbly and wincing in pain every five seconds.
Megan
When is Jason not grumbly, though?
I mean really, he’s quite a grumbly guy.
Me
Trust me, I know. He’s grumpier than normal though.
Megan
I can think of a way to make him less grumpy.
Me
Nope. Not going there.
Megan
You’re no fun. You’re living out the perfect romance novel dream, only one bed, and yet, you aren’t even going to try??
Me
It’s not going to happen, Megan.
Megan
We’ll see. Have fun, I love you!
Me
Love you too.
As expected, breakfast is awkward. On those rare occasions I’ve been able to get more than a few words from Jason, I think I’m starting to crack his shell, but then he turns back into a one word responder again. Then he goes and waits to eat breakfast with me, but doesn’t say a word the entire time. I don’t know what to think of it. I wish things were the way they used to be, where conversation flowed between us with no awkward pauses or breaks. I want to get to know him again, not just try and reconcile this version of him with the old Jason, because clearly they are very different men.

Jason and I make our way back to the hotel room after the last event of the evening. We did a lot more networking today, and left with twice as many cards and brochures than we came with. I met some really awesome event planners, and got so many ideas on how to make things run better at Meadow Grove. A giddy sense of excitement rolls through me as I think about all the things I have planned now.
Jason did his own exploring today, and didn’t say much to me about what he found, only that he was glad he came.
