Love is a Place Ch. 01: The Puzzle

... school.

-Oh good, that sounds perfect. I will also try to find some recommendations, but most of what I have here is aimed at younger people and I'm afraid I have zero personal experience of same sex relationships Samantha. But I'll try.

-Thank you, I appreciate that.

-Now, I have some more advice. I also think that you should try to spend more time out of the flat with Sarah doing things that Sarah enjoys.

-Like what Dr Alison?

-You tell me Samantha. What does your close friend Sarah like?

-She likes music. She likes going to concerts.

-Good. Do you think if you found a concert where there was allocated seating, so that nobody would bump into you, and you took earplugs in case it was too loud, you could go to a concert with Sarah?

-Yes. I think I could do that. We did that once before together at a place called the Bristol Beacon.

-Oh good. Well, why don't you try to find a concert there again featuring a band or artist that you know Sarah likes and buy tickets for it?

-Okay.

-Now, what else does Sarah like?

Samantha paused and thought about her friend. She was studying Sociology, which Sarah didn't really understand, but then it was about people and Samantha didn't understand many people. But at school she had also studied Art and she had occasionally painted the previous year until Sarah complained about the smell of the paint in their room. Then she had stopped.

-Art. She likes Art.

-Good. Could you take her to see an Art ...

... exhibition? If you went early, or during the week, hopefully it wouldn't be too crowded. It shouldn't be very loud either.

-Okay. Yes. I could do that.

-Now, do you have any idea why I am suggesting these things Samantha? Take your time.

Samantha paused and thought about it. She thought that this was probably along the lines of why she had been encouraged to participate in group activities at school.

-I think it is to build and reinforce my relationship with Sarah. This would be to make our bond stronger so that we can deal with any disruption that this Puzzle may cause. It would be another way to demonstrate to her that she is important to me.

-Excellent, that's all very good Samantha. But there is more.

Samantha waited.

-If it turns out that both you and Sarah desire each other, then it may be that you both decide to start a relationship. A relationship is not just about physical intimacy; it is about enjoying each other's company. Doing activities together is a way to develop that. It would be ideal if you found activities that you both enjoyed, but if you can't then that's okay. All relationships involve compromise, so you taking Sarah to a concert, even if you don't particularly enjoy it, would be an appropriate compromise. Does that make sense to you?

-Yes.

-Okay. Did you want to ask me anything else Samantha.

-No. Thank you Dr Alison.

-You are most welcome Samantha. Dr Alison's voice smelled of that fresh feeling after a shower.Samantha, please ...
