My day was brightened by a message from Ellie. She said she’d really like to see me on Saturday afternoon and suggested coming round to my place. I’m not sure what to read into her message, but her actual words were: “I think I’ve finally realised some things about myself, and to hell with what other people think about who I choose to be with”.

It could mean anything, but what if she means me? It makes butterflies in my stomach, but I really don’t know what I’d feel about that. I mean, playing with Mel is one thing, but a relationship with a woman? She might be ready to ignore what other people think but I’m not sure I am.

But maybe I’m reading something into it that isn’t there.
