Many social workers that I had conversed with during this whole process highly recommended visiting more often so the two of us “could familiarize ourselves in each other’s presence.” Basically that meant to get used to one another until the day to go home finally came.
Before I knew it, another week had already passed. With the relationship between Lea and I safe, I was finally at level with myself to continuing on other pressing matters, such as my dating life. Now even though Stephanie and I had only been going out since the past three weeks or so, I felt a certain connection towards her. It was something unlike I had felt before with other women; it seemed like she genuinely cared for what was happening in my life.
