So I finally saw Karen today. She wanted the lowdown and naturally had a few choice words.

My message remained the same.

It's between us, we'll work it out.

It's out of my hands now, I just have to wait and see.
He knows I really, really, really want to work it out so the ball is in his court.

It was a stupid fight and it wasn't worth this. That's either going to be recognised or it isn't.

Either way there's nothing more I can do.

I'll see him when I see him and then we'll talk about whatever comes next.

Either way my priority has always been and will always be the friendship.
She thinks he doesn't want it. I don't know. I'll find out.

I'll wait, and I'll wait for as long as it takes.

I fell in love and there's not a whole lot I can do about that.

I would move heaven and earth to fix it but that's not within my power. I can't try and fix something that I'm not allowed to. I just have to be patient. He knows how deeply I feel on this, that can't be in any doubt since I saw him last week.

Nothing has changed for me and given the chance, I'm determined to show how much I care about this relationship.
But it's not up to me.

I told her to hold her tongue until I know what's going on, however long that takes.
It's not up to me now.
