For the first time since my uncle died, I finally am able to keep my promise and visit my aunt this afternoon. I'm terrified. I have no idea what's going to happen, nor what I am going to say. Hell, I don't know how long I
will stay. I don't want to just stand by the door and chit-chat so quickly that I could just keep my car running. At the same time, I know my awkward ass could draw out the agony by asking dumber and dumber questions and overstaying my welcome because I want to look "concerned." I think I need to go to the library tomorrow afternoon, and I'm still figuring if I should go before or after seeing my aunt, which I'm supposed to see at a specific time. Even fretting about that makes me feel like a colossal dick.
I don't know what I should wear. I don't know how to behave. I don't know if I should go in for a hug, for God's sake. I don't want to be too forward that I invade her personal space, and yet I don't want to be so reserved that I come off as cold. I don't want to pry if my aunt's feelings remain raw, but I don't want to sound so distant that she thinks I'm trying to leave early.
Oh, God. I know I have to do this. I just don't know how to do it.
