The plan was set. They would finally meet and consumate their D/s relationship that seemed bizarre but beautiful. An odd couple, for sure, yet there was balance and caring and a growing connection.
They spoke daily. They talked about many things. Among them, she mentioned a health issue that seemed to be increasingly disruptive. She was suffering falls that humiliated her. While she did mention them, she failed to communicate how shaken she really was... shaken to her core.
They planned to meet Saturday, but Wednesday, she saw her doctor. The initial diagnosis was not earth-shaking. Just bursitis, which is treatable.
The big blow came that afternoon when she went to work. She was tasked with taking a client to pick up her cat at the local veterinarian. How could she carry the cat, hold the lady's elbow for her safety, while herself walking with a cane?
Long story short, she was pulled from that client and hours reduced to only 8 hrs/wk. With this financial hit, she caved. She had just spent a couple hundred dollars on tires, and had little in the bank to pay for the trip, fuel and tolls.
Doubt festered in her uncertain mind and emotions that were already shaken and, well, even when he offered to help, she refused. Her heart and spirit broken by her physical issues. She tried to explain to him... But how do you explain brokenness?
A deep question of self-value rummaged through her thoughts and emotions. "What did she really have to give him," she questioned.
They did not meet. Plans were shuffled. Feelings hurt.
What's next? Where do they go from here? Can trust be rebuilt? He holds her heart in his hands.
