I was sad to see the little flat in Chelsea go. Especially saying goodbye to Mrs Weatherby who made us promise to come back and visit her and the cats before letting us go with a large parcel of biscuits. I'd like to think that my own grandmother was just like her once.
So where does that put us?
It puts the three of us in a pair of rooms in this house in Canterbury. There's a large door kept open between the two of the rooms which makes it a sort-of suite. For the most part, we've not ventured out much. No one has really noticed or come to talk to us, but that doesn't seem to matter so much.
And Topper has turned out to be one of the most demanding thing I have ever met. The day we moved in, he sat at my feet and meowed for five minutes before I realised that I'd placed a basket on top of his blanket. His blanket.
Terry has been spending a lot of time with Michael, writing in a notebook. When he came back from their meeting, I asked what they talked about. At first he didn't say anything, which I respected. Then he told me it was up to Michael to tell me when he was ready. All I know is Michael has a problem that Terry needs to help with.
I hope it isn't... Terry can't lose his friend again. I wish Hannah was
I'm still trying to figure out what my place in all of this will be. I don't want to be a liability and I know I can be useful somehow. There used to be a time when I wasn't frightened. I need to find that person again. To find that girl who stepped onto the battlefield and fought until the end.
I know Terry is still afraid that the situation will turn out worse than the first time and that he's terrified what happened to me will happen again only worse. I can feel that every time we're together and the way he's holding me tighter than he did before. As if I might disappear. I don't know if saying 'I love you' makes him feel better anymore.
Did I do the wrong thing asking him to come back?
