She recognised the signs
Quiet, slight agitation
Wanting to be alone
She wanted me to open up
Her plan of action
Was to take me
For a drive
A drive away from home
A drive to destination unknown
A drive where she drove
A drive where I talked
She questioned, she quizzed
She clarified and probed
I provided the details
She poised over minor details
Until we both agreed a plan
She smiled
I half smiled
She made me open up
She made me speak up
She eased away my anxiety
Until the symptoms came around the next time
