It was obvious that she was a bit....uncomfortable. She wasn't sure how one of Erik's family members would react but Catherine was here and it was now or never.
"Please, Sit," Doreen requested, motioning to a chair in front of her desk. Doreen was a bit withdrawn.
"I'm not sure how to talk to you about this but I won't have a clear mind until I do," she stated taking her own seat. "Erik doesn't know you're here nor does he know that I sent for you."
She sighed in discomfort of a situation that seemed strange if nothing else.
"I'm having feelings that I've never experienced before," she declared, "You know, from one woman to another, I hope we can keep this between us for now." She started fidgeting with a pen on her desk, "Erik......you know him both as a family member and a co-worker. I feel funny talking to you about him like this but I think.......that......I feel for him beyond that of an associate or friend. Our children have become close."
She stood up as her nerves were on edge. She was still fidgeting with the pen in the fingers of her left hand. "I know his wife was killed not long ago and well, it frightens me....frightens me that I shouldn't feel this way...that for him it's not right or if it is, it's too soon. I'm not even sure why I'm asking you these things but, I needed another woman's perspective, someone I know a little...someone I can trust.....someone that knows him......even someone who is family."
She then gave her a look of question, "Do you......get what I'm asking?" She then looked up and sighed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you."
