It has been almost two weeks since Merritt, Emma, and I shared the dream that suggested there were time-shifted versions of us back in 1880. And with that dream came an unexplainable connection—or at least a vastly stronger connection to Merrett and Emma.
The first time I met Merritt, I had a positive reaction to him. Likewise, when I met Emma that night for dinner at the apartment, I instantly liked her. Since the shared dream, it has been so much stronger.
Nevertheless, I need to focus on myself. On my life, and my place in 2024.
I am the 2024 version of me. Born in 2002. I’m in the first months of my career. I am open to finding someone who I can spend the rest of my life with.
Before the dream, I had the idea it might be Merritt. Aside from the complicating fact that, despite all that has been said, I feel sure Emma is fond of him, I see no reason to set aside my idea.
Enter Devon. I’m very pleased he seems interested in Emma and she does not seem opposed. I’d like nothing more than seeing her happy, and if that can be as a result of Devon, then great.
Enter Addison. I can’t get a read on her long-term goals, if she has one, but she sure seemed pleased to be in either Merritt or Devon’s space on the camping trip. And she arranged for Devon to do some work at the theater.
Back to Devon. Will agreed to give him a job, once he gets his documents in order. It will more or less be the Internship I vacated. Will said he try to help Devon get into an engineering program, too.
So as for me… I want to be conscious of Emma’s feelings, but the clock is running. If Merritt’s not the guy—and statistically, it’s like 10% chance? People typically go through 4 or 5 serious relationships before finding a marriage partner—I’d like to find out sooner rather than later.
So, I’m going to talk to Emma about where she thinks things are with her and Devon, perhaps to encourage her not to be shy about it. Then continue to develop things with Merritt.
Something like that…
