Tuesday, continued . . .

Once Anna ended the call, and packed up her laptop to secure it, before heading up to Hou Yi's office for lunch and an appointment with Phillipa .

After a leisurely lunch, with Hou Yi, Phillipa walked into the office right on time at 2:30 pm, shutting the door behind her and taking a seat on a chair . "Hello Yi and Anna . "

"Hello Phillipa," responded Anna .

Hou Yi smirked and responded "Pip, right on time as usual . "

"I want to get right down to business with respect to matters . The first and most important thing, is did you follow the advice from yesterday, in not to sleep apart?"

"Yes, Pip, and you have a dirty mind"

"Yi, you are my friend, and I owe you a lot, but please be serious, as you will make Anna run for the hills, which will not help either of you . "

"Yes Phillipa, we did . "

"Anna, how did you feel when you awoke this morning, and how did you feel that Yi slept?"

"Actually I awoke feeling generally refreshed, and that I had a good night's sleep . As to Yi, I felt that he had a good night's sleep . "

"Yi, and to the same question how would you respond . "

"I hate to say this, but Anna is not telling the full truth . She awoke at some stage during the night with a nightmare, calling out 'Jinhu, do not hit me, please do not hit me . ' and was frightened . She had her eyes open, but did not realise what was happening . It was when I calmed her down did she drift off into a peaceful sleep . As I was worried about her, it took me some time to settle back to sleep . Once I realised that she was OK, I then was able to go back to sleep . "

"I did not realise I did that . I just felt so rested . "

"Anna, do not worry . It is just part of the process of dealing with matters . It appears that you had some nightmare about an event, triggered by what we talked about yesterday, but it did not wake you . Yi's calming of you down let you go back to sleep . "

"Now, I will not get into all the technicalities, as I know you Yi, and suspect you are the same Anna, you will want to understand the technical side and the reasons . The simple answer is that there is no real reason . I simply sensed yesterday talking to the both of you that you needed the other nearby to be calm, and able to face matters . All that is important is that this needs to continue . "

"Do some activities separately, but make sure that there is time that you spend together . It will be the only way that you both can open up, importantly for you Anna that is about facing the past as you have supressed a lot of what happened to you as a means to cope . Yi you need to be open to helping Anna with what she is needed . I suspect as Lu Jinhu visited his family on a regular basis here, while with Anna, as I know I met him at events when I went as your guest, that you overheard things he said . Those things have to come out, but not now . "

Phillipa paused, and then looked at both of them . "Now enough of me going on about this . What I need you to focus on is what we are going to address today . Yesterday, you both told me things separately . I need you to each pick three things, and we will talk about those points . "

With that, they all went into deeply discussing things that Hou Yi and Anna had picked .

At 4:30 pm Phillipa looked at her watch and realised the time . She stopped the discussion and recapped with Hou Yi and Anna what they had been talking about . As she stood up and was getting ready to leave she said "You two better make sure that you are on time for tonight . I do not want to deal with my stressed out parents alone . You two have to help me . "

"Just get going Pip, and I promise we will be as close to time as possible . " With that Phillipa left Hou Yi's office .

Hou Yi, looked at Anna, and said "Just give me 5 minutes, and I will be ready . "

"Yi, I'll go and collect my stuff and we can meet at the car . "

"Are you sure"

"Yes Yi . "

With that Anna left, and collected her belongings from her office . She met Yi at the car for the drive home .
