Sarah’s suggestion
Sarah leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. “Have you thought about talking to Tim directly?” she suggested softly. Maybe that would be the bridge to close the space that was opening up between us. “Children tend to open up when they feel they are really listened to.” The idea echoed in my mind. Simple, but powerful. Building trust seemed like the next step. I nodded slowly, feeling the strength of his words taking root inside me.

Heart to heart decision
Reinforced by Sarah’s advice, I decided that I needed to have an honest conversation with Tim. The ideal would be to find a moment when Jeff wasn’t there, a moment without distractions. Perhaps then Tim would have the space to reveal a little of the truth he was keeping silent. As I finished my drink, I mentally replayed what I would say, aware that this conversation would have to be conducted with great care and heart.
