67. This is a lie

Uncle Jack and I are having dinner together for the first time in a while. I usually eat dinner with Jason, even on days when Uncle Jack is not working the night shift. I want to tell him tonight that I have decided to move in with Jason. I haven’t told Jason yet. I felt I should tell uncle jack first.

“Spill,” Uncle Jack says, noticing me holding back from saying something.

“I have decided to move in with Jason.”

“Hmm, so you were serious about moving out.”

“Yes, I was”

“Are you sure you are ready to take that step in your relationship with Jason”

“I believe I am.”

“If you feel you are, then it’s fine with me. I won’t stop you from moving out.”

“Really,” I was worried he wouldn’t like the idea of me moving in with Jason since he is not too happy about me moving out of the house in general.

“Yes, I need to allow you to grow on your own”

“Thank you, Uncle Jack.”

“You are welcome, dear.”
