Hello :P It is not Wednesday but I am back to upload this chapter today. I really think I need to swap my upload dates to Thursday now but that would feel weird. I still aim to upload them Wednesdays but sometimes - like this week - I had two days extra at work and by yesterday I just wanted to switch off. But I'm back. And this chapter was pretty difficult for me to write. Not because of the subject matter, surprisingly, but because I have never written about any of Misty's sisters before, let alone Daisy. I've had some ideas in my head for her but I really had to just go with the flow when writing this. I'm glad I did. It is a very cathartic and important chapter. I hope you enjoy :3
Ages:
James: 38
Daisy: 37
Disclaimer: I own only the story :3
The lavender haired male sat at the table in the quiet restaurant, his hand holding onto the stem of the wine in the glass that he had already ordered, his eyes fixed downwards at the menu. I sat at the chair next to him but anybody could tell that he definitely wasn't reading all of the food and drinks listed in front of his face. His eyes were fixed on the menu but his brain was not. He was thinking. He was thinking to himself. He furrowed brow. He was thinking of all the things that he was going to say. He was planning exactly what he was going to say and how he was going to approach the subject.
He knew exactly what to do. He knew exactly what not to do. He thought that he was ready. But all of that went out the window when the yellow haired female came bustling into the restaurant in her work clothes, pushing her hair from her eyes. James looked up right away. And in that moment, he didn't have a clue what he was going to do.
James looked up right away when the yellow haired female entered the quiet restaurant and he automatically stood up as well when she was greeted by a member of staff and shown to the table where he had previously been sitting. He pushed all of his nervousness away and tried to look casual, leaning in to greet his lunch date with a brief hug. He soon pulled away to look at her once again and he made eye contact before moving round to her side of the table to pull her chair out for her.
"Hello Daisy." He uttered quietly to his best friend's oldest sister and she gave him a shy but grateful smile at his manners and after he sat back down opposite her, she gave him an even bigger look of gratitude and she pushed her hair from her eyes again. The lavender haired male did the same and he pushed all of his long locks over onto one of his shoulders. He picked up the menu again to occupy his hands as he tried to hide the suspiciousness of his nerves. "I hope I'm not taking too much of your time. I know that you are a busy woman these days."
After the green orbed female gave me a smile and a wave as a greeting as I stayed sitting next to James' side, she let out a few bashful laughs and she picked up her own menu when she saw the man opposite holding his in his hands. She then shrugged, continuing to smile lightly as she spoke to him. She pretended to look at her watch.
"I think I can spare at least a lunch time or two." She responded before pausing, giving me time to think to myself while smiling casually to myself. After entering beauty pageants as a teenager and young woman and travelling around the world for a good few years, that particular Williams' sister had flourished and done well for herself.
She was once a producer of the water ballets with her sister which developed into her doing directing and producing of all kinds of shows and TV shows. She had done well for herself. She had done very well indeed. She stopped pausing and her shy smile died down a fraction. She tilted her head slightly at the lavender haired male, still holding onto the menu. "I have to say that I was surprised to get an invite from you of all people. It's normally with the others at least."
James was still very much trying to hide a good chunk of his motives and intentions but he was doing rather well in my opinion. He couldn't help but nod his head in agreement with Daisy's words before giving her his own shrug and his own smile. He put his menu down once again and started playing with the corners of the white napkin instead.
Misty's relationship with her sisters had been tricky to say the least. It wasn't a surprise after the things that they all had to face as young children but still, it was sad that they hadn't always been as close as some other families were. I tried not to be biased but I was reluctant for the orange haired female when at least two of the Williams' sisters wanted to make a fresh start with their littlest sister, but I couldn't help it. I tried to see the best in people but I had heard the things they'd done. I had heard of the things they did. They had only been children but still, I thought that Misty deserved better. And she did. So she got better.
Daisy and Violet made a strong effort to be the big sister's that their orange haired sister deserved, as well as being the young women that they deserved. They tried hard. And things began to work in the end. Clearly. Because it wound up with one of them being asked out to lunch by Misty's lavender haired best friend. Even if it was only an innocent lunch date; it was still progress.
Daisy didn't say anything at first but she had noticed that the lavender haired male was picking at the edges of his napkin and taking a while to respond to her. At first, she kept quiet and just watched him. Her green orbs took note of his ones of a similar shade and noticed how they flickered from side to side. She shrugged to herself. She watched some more. She looked at his fingers slowly tracing over the delicate pattern of the napkin. She opened her mouth to speak to him once again but he got there before her.
He could feel her studying eyes and he knew that she was about to get suspicious to he simply had to act as normal as possible. He tried his best, he really did. And it wasn't all that hard for him because nothing really was all that wrong. In fact, it was incredibly, incredibly right. Well, it would be if she was one of the people that let it be that way.
"I've already ordered drinks for the table." He told her almost hurriedly but gently still, once again using his hand to push his hair from his eyes before picking up his wine glass and taking a quick sip of the contents inside it. He then lowered it back down to the table but stayed holding onto it, swirling it round by the stork thoughtfully. "Tell me how things are going with you. Tell me about this TV show."
And Daisy did exactly that. Daisy spoke about her new TV show that she was producing and both James and I listened. We both listened eagerly. But I believed that I was more attentive than the lavender haired male. I smirked to myself. Of course I was. I wasn't the one with highly important possibilities and musings in the back of my mind.
But still, the both of us listened. And it sounded like she was having a blast with her latest endeavour. I knew that myself and everybody back home was going to tune into the show once it aired. It was to be a documentary about Cerulean City and how the city with the mysterious blue aura surrounding it came to be. It was sure to be a fascinating watch and even though I knew so much about that place and knew it as a home on so many levels, it was going to be interesting seeing it through the yellow haired Williams' sister's eyes.
From the way that Daisy spoke about her upcoming television project enthusiastically and professionally, you could tell how much the lovely city meant to her despite it all. And because of this, the lavender haired male rested his head on his hand and listened to her. He really listened to her and he began to briefly forget about all of the thoughts that were at the back of his mind.
Part of it was from him not wanting Daisy to get too suspicious and think that he was just using her. He definitely wasn't doing that and even though he didn't agree with how his best friend had been treated by her sisters in the past, he couldn't stop himself from truly listening to Daisy and getting lost in everything that she was telling him. Perhaps it was because it was all about Cerulean City and, like myself, he felt like he had a kinship with that place.
After all, it was the place that his male best friend and Daisy and Misty's father had set up the Cerulean Gym. James felt a kinship with what Daisy was saying. And if he was honest with himself, he felt a kinship with her as well. It was possibly the yellow hair and the green eyes and the Jordan-likeness about her. But if he was even more honest with himself, it was definitely because she was a part of Lynne. And he wanted to be a part of the orange haired woman too.
Daisy wasn't exactly too much like her other Williams' sisters and James and I began to see that the more and more the little lunch date went on and the more that she and the lavender haired male continued to converse. As a teenager she had been rather ditzy and irresponsible but at that point, she was most definitely a woman. If the things she'd gone through along with her sisters hadn't made her into one, following her own dreams had most definitely done that.
She was no longer ditzy and irresponsible. She was still innocent and she was soft but she was engaging too. She was quite sweet. And she was kind. After she got lost in her own ramblings and her own description of the television series that she was working on, she quietly came to a finish and gave James yet another shy smile. She pushed her hair from her eyes and took a sip of her drink that had since arrived at their table.
"That's pretty much everything up to date with what's going on in my life except for the fact that I've started seeing someone again that I used to go out with." She admitted to the lavender haired male even more shyly and took another drink before almost ducking her head at him. "What about you?"
I looked between Daisy and I looked at her before I looked at the green orbed man. His head ducked as well. And even though the yellow haired females had been looking down briefly before, she was then looking at the man opposite her. Straight away she had noticed his composure changed. She had watched it grow relaxed and attentive as she spoke to him but once again, it had grown different and distance and even a little suspicious. She hid her frown and tried a different approach.
She felt like she wasn't going to get much of an answer out of him about his own life apart from ramblings so she asked him about something that was bound to get him talking. And perhaps even lead him onto talking about other things too. As well as being engaging and sweet and kind, Daisy was smart. Her eyes adamantly but gently locked onto James and she spoke to him while holding her own drinks glass in her hand that had since arrived.
"How's the little one?" she asked softly at first and straight away, the lavender haired male's mind stopped itching back to the thing that was on his mind and went back to focusing on the yellow haired female. He tried not to focus on her too hard, however, or she was certain to duck her head in shyness. He had noticed that about her. And it really was both a Jordan and a Lynne trait. Daisy let out a quiet breath before clarifying. "How is Morgan?"
James let out his own quiet breath upon hearing this and I did too. Morgan. Morgan. We soon broke into two separate beams but they were very much the same. We both nodded our heads and we both spoke with our eyes. Delightful. Morgan was delightful. While I spoke with my orbs, the lavender haired male didn't hesitate to answer Daisy with words and update her all on his best friend's little sister.
"Oh, she's great. She's the best." James told Daisy and the yellow haired female couldn't stop herself from smiling slightly as she listened. She even rested her head on both of her hands as her elbows propped them up on the table. She wanted to hear everything. James told her everything. Her plan worked. But she wasn't smug. She was just enjoying the company. "She's adjusting well and she's eating well too. She's very smart. She definitely wants to try and learn everything that Misty knows and do it better than her too. She's one determined little thing. She's doing great. I'm sure you'll get to meet her soon."
James couldn't help but trail off and as soon as he said these words, his expression grew thoughtful and distant once again and he went back to playing with his hair. Daisy didn't move her face from resting in her hands and even though she hadn't responded with any words, she too seemed to quieten down. I breathed out once again. I understood. Right as all of these thoughts and musings popped into my head, James found himself speaking a second time and he told Daisy all the things that were on my mind.
"You will get to meet her soon. But it's all a lot for her down here. She knows that she has nieces and she's very very savvy and smart but it's still a lot for her to take in. She-"
"It's okay, James. James, it's okay, you don't have to give me all of these answers. I get it." Daisy interrupted the lavender haired male perhaps for the first time but it wasn't in a rude way. Even though James shut his mouth quietly as soon as he was interjected, he knew that it wasn't meant in a snappy way. She wasn't like that. He just continued looking at her with gentle eyes.
She looked at him back, giving him a wan smile as she circled her finger around the circular base of her glass. She shrugged once again, pushing her bangs from her eyes. "You don't have to give me answers if you don't know. It's my Dad who knows. He knows when he's ready for us to reconnect. He knows when Morgan's ready for us to reconnect. He knows. You don't have to give me answers if you don't have any. You don't have to give me answers."
My head tilted on one side. James looked up and he stopped pushing all of his long locks back over onto his opposite shoulder. Before Daisy even gave off any indicators, we both knew that she was going to continue. And we both knew that she was going to continue in an important way.
She let out a brief but sharp exhale out of her nose and she boldly looked at the lavender haired male. Her own head tilted on one side, the same as mine. Her nails dug lightly into the palm of her hand. She shook her head at herself. But she just came out with it.
"I think it's me who needs to give you answers." She told James and before he could furrow his brow and ask her what she meant, she let out a quiet laugh and continued. She shrugged slightly, her fingers moving to play with each other. "I know that you've been doing your best to hide it but I can see that you want to ask me something – or you want to tell me something. That's why you asked me here today. So you might as well just come out with it. What is it?"
James couldn't help but pause upon hearing this and in fact, he almost froze. He hadn't heard the yellow haired oldest Williams' sister being so direct in his entire life. She was perhaps the least ballsy one out of them all and his best friend was definitely the most. But he didn't mind either of those things about either of them. They were them. They were wildly different, but they were themselves. And he got on with both of them. In very different ways.
James continued pausing. James continued hesitating. In that moment, he had almost forgotten his own reason for asking Daisy to join him for lunch. He did indeed have a reason and a motive behind it but the truth was, he liked her company as well. The reason for their lunch was 'business' as it were, but it was still something that he was happy to do. And not because he wanted something out of it. He didn't. He did, and he didn't. He was confused. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to proceed.
Daisy couldn't help but let out a few light giggles upon seeing the lavender haired male so unanimated and she reached across the table to briefly squeeze his knuckles to snap out of it. Her actions did just this but he snapped out of it slowly. Gently, his head moved and fraction by fraction, his eyes moved to look at her once again. His mouth remained hanging open. He really thought that he was doing a good job at hiding his motives. I looked at him. He was good at it. And he wasn't good at it. He was both of those things. He was none of those things.
The yellow haired female continued talking, shaking her head slightly and squeezing his hand again a second time. She let out another few soft laughs.
"You are allowed to have a reason to ask me to do this, you know? It doesn't make you a jerk." Daisy told him lightly and she watched his expression change from hesitant to rather worried that the time had come with each passing second. She couldn't stop herself from squeezing his hand a third time. Both our heads tilted on one side once more. "Just… Just come out with it, James. Does it have something to do with my sister?"
James' brain expected his body to freeze yet another time but that didn't happen. He automatically shook his head and then his eyes widened in surprise. He really hadn't expected his body to respond but after it had reacted the first time, he decided to just go for it. He decided to just get on with it.
He didn't want to lie. He didn't want to put it off anymore. He really didn't know what he was going to do. He really didn't know how he was going to approach it. He was going to have to figure it out along the way. He really didn't know what to say with the yellow haired female opposite. But instead of putting it off, he just went for it.
"It doesn't have anything to do with your sister. It doesn't have anything to do with Misty." he answered truthfully, or so he initially thought. After thinking about it for half a second, he realised that he was misled. He shook his head at himself and quickly corrected himself. "Actually, it does have something to do with Misty. In fact, it has something to do with you all."
Of course I didn't know Daisy as well as I knew my best friend's orange haired wife but I knew her well enough. I could see her eyes flickering ever so slightly from side to side. I could see her brain ticking. In fact, I could almost hear it. There were a dozen different possibilities in her mind. But unlike her sister, she just kept quiet and she listened and she waited for James to enlighten her more.
I stopped looking at Daisy and I looked at James. Both of them had completely forgotten about ordering food in their conversations and even though he was hungry, the lavender haired male wasn't licking his lips for that reason. He was nervous. His heart rate was beginning to flutter and pound.
He was about to just come out with it. He was about to go for it. Soon enough, he was going to have a yes or a no. He was going to have a yes or a no. He didn't know what the answer was going to be. But he was ready to take the risk either way.
"It's… It's your Mom, Daisy." James began once again and he knew that he had to proceed carefully and quickly so as not to worry her brain with lots of possibilities involving her mother. After all, she didn't want to worry about hearing bad news about her like she had heard many years ago. The lavender haired male tried to continue tactfully. "I… I don't know if this is going to come as a surprise or not but… But… I have feelings for her. I have feelings for your Mom, Daisy."
Daisy's brain stopped twitching in the fear that she was about to hear a second diagnosis and she listened properly to what the lavender haired male was saying. After all of his words, he didn't say another one. He just gave her time to process what he was saying. He tried not to look at her too much. He didn't want her to feel under pressure to answer or smothered. He tried not to look at her too little either. He didn't want her to think that he was ashamed or uncomfortable. He wasn't either of those things. He had known that he was in love with Lynne for a very long time. But it wasn't something that he had discussed with her eldest daughter. Ever.
James expected Daisy to remain silent for a good few minutes after the information took a while to sink in but neither of those things happened. The news sunk in pretty quickly. In fact, it was almost too quickly in James' liking. He began to blush slightly red as the yellow haired female tilted her head on one side at him and played with her hair. She smirked slightly.
"Really? This is your big news of the century?" she asked him almost teasingly and James didn't dare react. He didn't want to push her too much or too little. He didn't want to do anything to come between a mother and a daughter. He didn't want to do anything to come between a family. He just remained quiet and respectful. Daisy continued, laughing quietly at him. "That's really not a surprise; don't forget that I was there at the New Year's party when my Sister and my Dad made you have your first kiss. I know it didn't mean nothing to you. That's not massive news. That's-"
"That's not it." Warned the lavender haired male and his voice came out in such a serious way that it should've stopped Daisy from smirking but it didn't. She had never seen him look so nervous before and she hadn't seen him so serious either. He really didn't have to tell her twice what her mother meant to him. But he did anyway. He swallowed. "I… I'm in love with her and Jordan knows it and I asked you to lunch because I wanted to ask you if it's okay if I dated your Mom."
This soon made Daisy's smirk fade away and I wasn't surprised. I couldn't help but swallow along with her and for some reason, I felt like I had to process all of this information along with her. James remained calm and patient while the yellow haired female's eyes widened so much that you could see the whites of them. She definitely wasn't holding onto his hand anymore. She leaned back in her chair. She wanted to remain quiet as lots of thoughts popped into her mind but she spoke to silence them all. She found herself shaking her head and briefly shutting her eyes. They quickly opened again, however.
"Wait, slow down, what about my parents? What about your marriage? What about…? I just… Please, explain all of this to me. Tell me what you want."
Daisy finished her words with some more quiet laughter but that time, they were most definitely nervous ones. She rubbed her forehead slightly as she looked at James and she tried to stop herself shaking her head at him. She didn't want him to get the wrong idea.
She was confused and she was baffled but she knew that he was decent. She just wanted to understand. Her world was about to change and she had lots to process. But still, she just wanted to understand. She asked James to explain. She asked James to tell her what he wanted. So he did just that. He did more than that. He told her what he hoped to achieve.
"I… I love your Mom, Daisy. I'm in love with her. I tried not to let this happen and I really, really didn't want to lose my wife or any of my best friends but here I am. I've been very lucky. I've been luckier than I will ever be able to say. Jordan and Jessie know how I feel; they know how we feel, because Lynne feels the same way about me. And for a while now they've been saying that your Mom and I should be together while with have the chance and still be with our husband/wife too. It was their idea. I didn't even know that could be a thing. It was their idea. I said no a few months ago but now I want to say yes. But I'm not going to do a thing unless everybody is happy. So that's why I'm asking you. I came here to ask you."
And with that, the lavender haired male reached into his pocket and he pulled out something. He pulled out something very precious. It was a crumpled up piece of paper and he had to smooth it out but still, it was precious to him. Because it was one of the only things standing between him and the orange haired woman that he loved. He held it out to Daisy and as she confusedly took hold of it, he explained. I couldn't help but smile.
"Written down is a list of everybody who I believe or who I know will have an opinion or be affected by Lynne and I getting together. And next to all of their names, two blank boxes. One of them says yes. The other one says no. It's up to you what your answer is going to be. I'm not going to try and hurry you or convince you. It's up to you. It's up to everyone. But even if I get just a single no, I won't do it. I won't ask her. I want to be with her more than anything. But I'm never going to risk the family that I've got to make Lynne and I family as well."
It was a lot for Daisy to take in. it was a whole lot for Daisy to process. But when her eyes stopped looking at the lavender haired male and she looked down at the long list of people's names, she couldn't help but smile when she saw them all and she smiled more when she felt the goodness of the man sitting opposite her.
He had heard things about her but she had heard things about him too. And funnily enough, the man sitting in front of her was nothing like any of the stories and rumours that she had heard. He was a good guy. He really was a good guy. She knew of his feelings for her mother, even if she pushed them to the back of her mind and waited for them to be brought up to her rather than the other way around. She knew his feelings were pure. She knew his intentions were good. She couldn't help but shake her head as she stroked her name on the page and glanced between the yes and no box. She shook her head once again.
"You don't have to do this you know, James. I know that you want to but if my parents are remaining together and you and your wife are and nothing else is changing then what does it matter what anybody else thinks? You're getting so many other people in your business. You don't-"
"I do though." James interrupted Daisy with a thoughtful frown and that soon changed to a somewhat shy smile. He pushed all of his hair from his eyes. He was in awe of her. There he was, telling her that he was in love with her Mother and she was taking it so well. Granted, it was only the first day and she might process it properly a few days later but still. He could feel her trying to accept it and trying to make him see another side too. He appreciated it. But still, he shook his head. He breathed out, trying not to get too serious. "I do have to do this. I'm not going to sacrifice anyone else's happiness for my own. In the end, it damages everybody. And at the end of the day, I am more than comfortable just being friends with her. But if this happens, then things are going to change a lot. I need to make sure everybody is going to be okay. Things are going to change a lot. You-"
"You can't guarantee that everybody is going to be okay, James." Daisy told him softly but truthfully and after his face fell slightly at her realism, she gave him another small smile. But that time, it was slightly wobbly. It was beginning to get unsure. And James began to realise why he liked her so much. She was so much like his best friend. She was so much like Jordan. She was so much like Lynne, too. She was also like a grown up version of Morgan. But most importantly, she was simply herself. He liked her for being her. He respected her. He really wanted her answer to be a 'yes' but only if she was okay with it being just that. Daisy tried to breathe and smile away her uncertainty. "I guess things are going to change a lot. I mean… You and my Mom… Does that mean… Step- Dad?"
Daisy could barely say the words. It was all suddenly so absurd. It was all suddenly so alien to her. Even though her parents had passed away, she knew that they were so very much in love and she never dreamed that she'd end up having a step parent. She definitely didn't think she'd have one at the age of 37.
Daisy could barely even say the words and James could barely hear them. He shook his head, trying to hide his look of being appalled. He breathed out, reaching out to squeeze her hand before retracting it again in case it was too soon. He looked at his own list before playing with his hair, swallowing. He chose his words carefully. He chose his words tactfully. But ultimately, he just told Daisy the truth.
"I will never be a step dad to you or any of your sisters, you can count on that." He told her firmly but not harshly and as they were both looking at his list of names, the yellow haired female couldn't help but notice that none of the names had been ticked either way so far. She was the first person that he was asking. James continued, playing with his own fingers. "I don't want anything to ruin you and your mother. I don't want anything to ruin you and your father. I don't want anything to ruin you and your sister. I don't want to come between anybody. And I don't want to be your step father either, definitely not. Could you imagine? No. I just want to be your friend. Daisy, I just want to be your friend. Is that okay? Do you think that would be okay?"
The yellow haired female's green orbs moved back to the lavender haired moment and even though she had then had even more to process, instead of feeling weighed down, somehow she felt like a weight lift off her shoulders. She couldn't help but smile. She couldn't help but blush. She couldn't help but nod her head.
She knew that she already had her answer for the lavender haired male but she didn't write it down just yet. She just hovered her finger over the right box. But James didn't see. He was too busy listening to her as he spoke openly to her.
"To tell you the truth, Daisy, your Mom and I have everything against us doing this. We have time against us. We have distance against us. And we have our own fears and our own uncertainty against us too. But here I am anyway. Here I am. Asking you if it's okay for me to ask your mother to be mine?"
Upon hearing this, the yellow haired female really had no other answer in her mind. She always liked hearing about him when she and her littlest sister started getting closer again and they started talking and it was moments like when he was sat right opposite her that she knew he was one of the good guys. He had done bad things. He had made bad mistakes. But he was not mad. And he certainly wasn't going to be a bad boyfriend to her Mother. He was going to be a wonderful one.
Even if she got uncertain as the days passed and she relapsed in comfortableness as she processed it all even further, she couldn't help but respect his openness towards her and the respect that she felt coming from him. It made her respect him back. And it made her open up to him in the most vulnerable ways. She smile slightly and she looked bravery but you could tell that there was damage there.
"This whole situation isn't going to exactly be normal, is it? But then again, what is? My whole life hasn't been normal. So this might as well not be normal as well. Bring it on. Normalcy isn't something I'm used to."
Daisy's words were said with light-heartedness and truthfulness but James of all people could sense the underlying nature behind them. He couldn't stop himself reaching his hand out to hers. This surprised her. This made her shy. But she didn't move away. She looked at him as their hands remained linked together. He told her gently. But he told her surely. He smiled at her, his eyes not leaving hers.
"I can't guarantee to you that I'm going to make you and your Mother's lives more normal, Daisy." He told her truthfully before reselecting his words, can't helping but laugh quietly and shyly like she often did. He continued, wrinkling his nose. "Actually, I can guarantee that I won't make your lives more normal. But I will do everything I possibly can to make your Mother as happy as I possibly can. Now that's a promise I can keep. Daisy, I can promise you that."
And with that, neither of them needed to say anymore. Neither of them needed to do anymore. Daisy didn't even need to formally tick her box either as it was done with both of their eyes and their hands too. She lightly pressed her palm against his and glanced at him and James knew.
James knew what the answer the answer was. He knew that the answer was yes. He knew that the answer was a yes. And he was thrilled. He was hoping it would be and on some level he expected that it would be but that didn't stop him from being overjoyed.
That first yes from Daisy was his first step to getting what he wanted most in the world. He wanted happiness. He wanted a family. He wanted adventure. He wanted security. He wanted love. He wanted solace. And he found all of those things many times in life. And he found them with Lynne too. He found all of those things. And so much more. He found his true self. And that was something that made each and everybody's 'yes' even more worth it. Not James getting what he wanted. But rather, him getting what he truly deserved.
The End.
There you go! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 So yeah, that was James asking Daisy whether after years of getting close and catching feelings, he can ask Lynne to be his. I wonder how Misty will feel that she's being asked first? Maybe that's something to think about. Shannon and I came up with James writing a list to make sure everybody was okay with he and Lynne getting together a good while ago now. It seems impractical to some and perhaps a little too selfless, but we like the idea of it. He knows he's lucky to already have a wife and to love Lynne, anything else that he gets in life or with her is just a bonus :P Thanks again and I will be back next Wednesday (hopefully) so see you then!
