Rory: Hi Grandma.
Emily: Rory! Hello. So good to see you. What brings you here?
Rory: Well, (looks down) I need to talk to you.
Emily: Ok. Well come in, come in!
I walked into the foyer and looked around. It wasn't such a big deal that I came to Grandma instead of Mom. They both would understand in time. It was something that they were going to have to get used to. I was a woman. A woman who was slowly falling ln love and learning to deal. Grandma brought me into the study and sat down. I sat across from her.
Emily: So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?
Rory: (clears her throat and looks down) Love.
Emily: (laughs slightly) Love? What would I know about love?
Rory: Well, your married to a wonderful man. I thought I could come and talk to you about......everything. If you don't want to, I could leave. I understand.
Emily: No it's quite alright. I'm just wondering why you didn't talk to your mother about this. You two are best friends, of course.
Rory: I just thought we could talk. You're my grandmother, and I love you.
Emily: Oh of course we could talk! You're my granddaughter Rory!
Rory: (looks to the side) Okay.
Emily: (switches her position on the chair) Okay. So what about love?
Rory: I'm in love.
Emily: Oh. That is so wonderful! With who dear?
Rory: Jess.
Emily: (looks surprised) Jess?
Rory: Yes. But that's the problem. I can't tell him.
Emily: When your in love, your insides get all messed up. I had the same experience.
Rory: (surprised) Really?
Emily: Yes. (Laughs) In college when your grandfather and I were dating, I found out I had never felt this way about someone in my entire life. Since he was with that Lott woman, I didn't know what to do. So I went to his dorm one day and say I love you to him.
Rory: What did he do?
Emily: He grabbed me and said he loved me too.
Rory: That is amazing. I want that.
Emily: You just have to take an initiative.
Rory: I'm just scared.
Emily: (Gets up and hugs her) Don't worry. Anyone crazy enough not to love my granddaughter is a fool.
Rory: Thanks Grandma. Oh and can I spend the night here?
Emily: (kisses her forehead) Sure.
After I went to my bedroom I flopped onto the bed and closed my eyes. Being a girl was so hard sometimes. I just needed time to breathe.
