Simply traversing across the bathroom floor was daunting. It took so many steps for Jordan to reach Sara, who would take a step and patiently wait for him to catch up. While it was nice of her to wait and keep an eye on him. A part of Jordan didn’t appreciate this at all as he hated the feeling of being watched. What got to him the most though was that it forced him to move hurriedly as Sara was waiting for him to catch up to her. He knew it was in his head and she wouldn’t say anything about having to wait as it was her idea, and if it really bothered her, she would just pick him up or move on to the sink or shower herself.
The quick movements and hurried pace kept Jordan warm enough as his tiny feet slapped against the cold tile floor. It was difficult to get a true sense of the scale of this bathroom as it was much smaller than the bathroom he was in before by a lot. It still felt overwhelming, and its size made it generally feel not only oppressive but daunting.
Sara watched her little man scurry across the bathroom floor. It was still strange to think of him as her little man. It was such a new experience for her that she wondered when it would start to feel normal. The idea that she would spend the rest of her life with Jordan was very unexpected. She knew Ellie had a bit of a crush on him as it was Ellie who was the main driving force behind them scoping him out a few times a week. She always found Jordan to be good-looking for a guy, but she never really felt anything the way Ellie did about him. She never thought about spending her life with a man.
That wasn’t true, she thought. When she was a little girl, she envisioned herself getting married to a guy as she thought that was just what people did. While her feelings were the same then as now it was only upon maturity that she found herself able to better understand who she was. However, even now it was still a stretch to say she was a master of her own emotions. It wasn’t all that long ago that she was with Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn had a way of making everything about her and making herself the victim that Sara would always fall into. She so often felt like if she didn’t do what Kaitlyn wanted, she was somehow being the bad one. That she was at fault and selfish. It was only now that she was removed from that relationship that she realized how toxic it was. How Kaitlyn used her physically and emotionally in ways she never would have expected from someone who was supposed to love her and care about her. But, beyond even that someone who before she was ever her lover was a friend.
Sara pushed the depressing thoughts from her mind and while she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As she opened her eyes, she forced herself to smile. She looked down at the floor seeing Jordan had a lot of progress while she was deep in thought. He was nearly too ladder. Sara took a couple of steps and instantly erased any progress Jordan had made as she stood next to his destination. Sara watched as he finally reached the step stool she had been converting into a bathroom
As Jordan approached the ladder, he much his fears had been for not. He saw they were high-grade ladders that had the feet going into a metal mount with a rubberized grip that held the ladder in place. He had seen them used at many construction sites but never had a fancy ladder like that himself. As he looked up at Sara briefly before climbing the ladder. He made a point to try not to look down or at anything that would give away just how high up he was as he didn’t want his fear of heights to kick in. It would be embarrassing to have to yell to Sara for help.
