Interview with Rob

I interviewed Rob near the beginning of

Wildflower - Becoming His.
Which correlates with near the end of Nobodys Hero 1

Age: 25yrs

After speaking to Imogen recently, and the changes in her life and relationship dynamics,
I wanted to see how he was doing, and if anything had changed in his life.

Hi Rob, its been a few months since we last talked..

I guess what I want to ask most is how are you?
and how do you feel about Imogen’s new relationship?

I’m OK I guess. I’m happy that she’s happy, if anyone deserves to be happy it’s her.
It has taken a bit of getting used too, it was always just us against the world,
now it’s a bit like shes slipping into stranger territory, and there's nothing stranger than us.

You look a bit down, instead of your usual self.

I hope i'm not overstepping but am I wrong in thinking

it's hit you deeper than you are letting on?

Ok I guess, It’s kind of like I’ve lost my right arm. I don’t know what I thought would happen.
Did I really think some guy wouldn’t eventually turn her head?
I guess in some way I’ve always loved her, it was just never our time, and then our relationship became so much deeper that it never felt right to go there.
I guess I just have to get used to being 2nd in her life, our friendship is strong enough to survive anything.

I’ve not met him yet, I’m hoping to speak to him soon.

What is he like? Imogen said you guys have met?

He seems OK. He seems a bit guarded, I don’t know if that is just with me,
I guess it must be daunting for any guy when they discover the girl they are dating has a male bestie,
and the friendship we have is not your usual friendship!

From what I’ve seen of him he looks like he is crazy for her. I’ll be keeping a close watch.
He has moments of control, or maybe Im just onguard, she doesn’t need another Jacob, and I worry because of her past she may instinctively fall for controlling men.

Last time we spoke you were thinking of moving to Scarborough to be nearer to Imogen. What are you plans now?

I’m not sure, I guess I’ll just see how things pan out.

Imogen said she wanted you to find someone. I know when we spoke last time that wasn't on the cards.. Has anything changed?

Not really… though I know she keeps nagging me. I’m not looking for anything special.
I would like to find something like what Imogen has. But sometimes i think love is just a four letter word. just a fairytale
I guess if its meant to be God will put someone in my path.

Before we say goodbye, I just want to say I hope you do find someone.
Getting to know you I have been touched by how an amazing friend you have been.
Over the years you've gone above and beyond for Imogen.
I know she will always see you as her hero. Even if she wont say it.

Thanks, it's been lovely chatting to you. But, I'm nobody's hero.... I'm just me.
