jeanne, I just want to give you a big hug and tell you it's going to work out like you want. While the hug is entirely do-able, the other is on iffy ground at the moment. I can say that I will keep hoping it will all work out like you want.

I think I'm on surer footing when I say 'he' knows he got lucky where you're concerned and doesn't see you as 'work'.
