I took in what Clarissa told me about Deb. She didn't stray much from the stoic and unattached persona she seemed to have donned in front of me. My immediate thought was wondering how she would react if I were to ask Deb for a date - I certainly didn't want to get Deb in trouble, and I felt as though maybe Clarissa might not handle that very well, especially if it meant seeing more of me.
But at the same time, I could not squash all of my feelings for Clarissa, and so I was wondering if perhaps wanting to ask Deb out was disguised as a way to show Clarissa that I really didn't need her if she wanted to continue to push me away.
I said to her, "She does have a great presence with my kids. They are having the time of their lives, in an art gallery of all places. Perhaps you should look at having Deb create a kids program. I think she would be perfect to design and lead it. She seems perfect in many ways."
