- RORY -
I don't know why, but I felt like Luciano was going to show up today. It was one of those irrational knowings. It's part of the reason why I sat out by the pool. I needed to put distance between myself and the door in case I was right. I didn't want to see him when he walked in. I didn't want to be inside. Outside feels less claustrophobic.
When I turned and saw him standing there by me, it was with a sense of deep relief that these things I sometimes feel still happen. I can still count on my intuition. It hasn't failed me. Well, maybe it did before I walked into that bathroom at the country club, but no one would have seen that coming.
It's taken me a long time to find a way to trust that inner voice. It took a long time to even hear it, and then once its gentle, compassionate nudgings became apparent, trusting that I wasn't just crazy was the next step. Luciano being here today is proof that I'm not just crazy.
