But I don’t know.”</strong>I look at my dear friend and try not to look too closely, scrutinizing: has Jekesai spotted stress and is being diplomatic?  I know Jaclyn is very capable of withstanding strains, but am I too close to the situation and my friend?<strong>“I do feel that Jekesai wanted to do this for some reason, I suppose I indicated fine by me, but it sounds like a gentle discussion with her would smooth things.  I will say things are proceeding swimmingly.  Hee-hee!  That’s a water image is it not?”</strong>I almost wink, but smile to see if Jaclyn is relaxing, to see what she’s thinking.<br/>
