[He'd suggested this whole thing, but it's definitely different when you're the one in the hot seat. Of course, there's the usual things that bother him and then there are the more recent things.
He knows what he said earlier, but at the same time it's a little different for a grown man to be putting his problems on a teenager. He knows Edward wouldn't appreciate that kind of thinking though. So what to focus on? The goal isn't to solve, per say, but to talk, right? He decides to go with something that he's already mentioned anyway.]
Two years is a really long time and I don't think Roy realizes just how much he's actually changed...I worry sometimes that maybe we don't connect or understand each other the way we used to.
[He tilts back in his chair, angling his gaze up towards the ceiling.]
Hmm...actually no...that's not really putting it right either. It's not like Roy and I have always seen eye to eye, but I've usually understood what he's thinking or feeling. Now? Well a lot of stuff has happened to both of us and I'm not sure how to talk to him about certain things any more.
