Untitled Part 4

"I think for me, friendship is having someone who will sit in silence with you and not ask any questions. Someone you could have silent conversations through your eyes with. Friendship is having someone to tell anything to." Natalie adds.

"What roles do love and affection play in your life?" Jase asks Natalie.

"If a stranger asked me last month this question, I would probably say that it doesn't, but right now, I am getting mixed feelings. What does someone call it when you're meeting up with your ex husband for the first time in years? Does love and affection have to do with it?" Natalie thinks.

"Well, I love Cooper, but when it comes to affection, I haven't felt that in a long time. I agree with you on the ex-wife/husband part. What would one call that?" Jason asks.

"I guess you could call it mixed feelings" Natalie replies. "Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of five items." She reads from the paper.

"I like how you had the guts to ask me to come and talk to you, after all these years."

"I like the way you treat Cooper, I've always known you'd be a good father." Natalie responds.

"I have always admired how you look at the world. Silently judging, just to see how you could make it better."

"I like that you care."

"I like that you're so strong headed." Jase says.

"I like your laugh. I forgot how much I missed it. Especially over the silly things like the Sunday cartoons."

"You're mysterious, and complicated but you like to forgive, which can throw me off."

"You forgive so much, one day it may kill you." Natalie replies.

"I like that you, after all these years, can still look at me without hatred in your eyes." Jase says softly.

"I think you're very kind, even though you have strong convictions."

"Okay, question number twenty three: How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people's?" Jase asks.

"My family is about as close as the north pole is to the south. They are as warm as those places too. My childhood was about as happy as a little kid after he gets his halloween candy stolen from him. Which, side note, actually happened to me quite a bit growing up. I think my parents didn't want me to rot my teeth." Natalie responds with conviction.

"Thankfully, my childhood was pretty much as good as it could get. I have two loving moms, and an amazing brother. I wish I could see them all more often though, I miss them a lot. Especially now having Cooper and being on my own." Jase says, giving Natalie a small smile.

"How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?" Natalie asks while suppressing a laugh.

"Well, I love my moms as you know, so I don't think I need to go into much detail there." Jase replies.

"I, on the other hand, have had zero relationship with my mother, except for when she found me about two years after we split. That was interesting. Lets just say, it was worse than the reality shows where the mom finds out her teenage daughter lost her virginity and now is pregnant. It was terrible. But, now that she's dead, sometimes I think about why she did what she did to me, and it gets confusing. So, I learned to just not think about it." Natalie says.

"Question 25: "Make three true "we" statements each. For instance, "We are both in this room feeling ..." Jase asks.

"We are both feeling scared. We both are wondering what we're going to respond to the next questions, and I think we are both wondering if we are going to see each other again after this."
