<div class="floatleft">(https://i.redd.it/5ajwja5gfu811.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"> Cassandra</span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Apollo<br/><strong>Location::</strong>home for the day<br/><strong>Company::</strong>Vonna!!<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>20th, afternoon<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>anxious and supportive.<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong>jeans, dark shirt.<br/><strong>TRIGGER WARNINGS::</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Cassandra had been on<em>a lot</em>of first dates, and had learned never to underestimate the sheer variety of things that could go wrong, from jealous partners to having Grandma brought along to male partners expecting sex, to fires, food poisoning, heart attack, outbreaks of war, or just sheer mundane not liking the other woman after she said something offensive or willfully ignorant. So second dates most certainly were never guaranteed. For anyone.<br/><br/>But for now, she definitely felt like she needed to comfort poor Vonna. The wait was agonizing. She didn't like seeing the vibrant woman sad and dejected. "I understand. I don't think love is limited. Not the best analogy, but people love different kinds of  food,  or different kinds of cheese.  It doesn't mean that one is worse or not good. Just that people can love a lot of different things simultaneously. Maybe not the exact same way, but still love, and a lot of it.<br/><br/>Love shared isn't love lessened. It's multiplied.<br/><br/>And it's ok to be upset... Jealous and envious and hurt or afraid. Everybody is at times. Poly isn't easy, and it's certainly not for everyone. The more people can talk and share and feel like they are understood, the better it typically goes.<br/><br/>It's ok to say that it's not for you, that you don't want to try it. I understand if that's the case. But I'll answer any questions you have and do my best to explain anything. It's ok to say something is not ok."<br/><br/>Thinking about the night, she nodded. "Pick me up here, please? I'll be ready!" She was still looking forward to the dance, and was hoping Vonna was ok.
