Kat Colton and I are at a standoff; it's a little unnerving but liberating all the same, I know now that there'll be times when we disagree but that doesn't mean he'll leave me, which for some reason was one of my biggest fears. I've never been in a relationship before obviously so I'm not quite sure how these things work, my parents had called it quits before I came along and I've never had the opportunity to see the inner workings of one up close and personal. I have no frame of reference to draw from. Colt on the other hand comes from a solid background with two parents who were still very much in love with each other though I tended to think he played by his own rules and not by anything he'd learned growing up in that household, I can't imagine Daniel being with Elena the way Colt was with me. The phone rang just as I was about to head out to the shop to see about an order I'd placed, it was Carol calling to see if I wanted to go to the next town over with her and some friends; it was the perfect opportunity for me to get out and away for a while since things were so tense between Colton and I so I accepted.
