    was struggling to find anything to say. She finally uttered, "Thank you for being so understanding." I then added, "Robert knows that Gary and I remain close. He accepts the fact that my stepbrother and I will always share an intimacy and closeness. I have told him that I understand his need to remain close to you. What I am saying is, you do not have to end your closeness because of me. I like knowing that you two continue to share this bond." She seemed embarrassed that Robert had shared their secret, but was relieved that I was not appalled by the details of their relationship. But most of all, she seemed intrigued by my willingness to allow it to continue. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Does Robert know you are okay with this?" "Yes, I told him I was meeting you for lunch. In fact, while you are here, I will make him available to you. I really do understand how you feel about him." "I don't quite know what to say.

I was too distracted thinking about how best to deal with Gary's jealousy. Cindy had a second and then a third glass of wine. Since I was driving, I had to stop at two cocktails. I noticed that by the time she had finished her third glass of merlot, she was touching my hand more and more as we talked. I was not offended by the physical contact at all. In fact, I enjoyed it. I sensed a real affection for both Robert and me in her casual touch. I also felt a genuine happiness that Robert and I were together. We talked about the logistics of Saturday night's celebration of my engagement. I gained some insight into this woman when she said, "I'm actually a bit nervous about tomorrow night." "Nervous? Why? My family won't bite." "No that's not it. This will be the first time I have been in the same room as my ex-husband since our divorce." "Why does that make you nervous?" I asked with genuine curiosity. "To be honest, Jim has moved on. He is remarried to a much younger woman, who happens to be gorgeous. He has a new family. She has two young children.
