"I want you to 'grumble' to Rick and tell him all of the things you didn't say to him when you broke up. After you've said everything you want to say, I want you to thank him on my behalf, because if he had married you, you wouldn't be my new best friend. Brilliant, huh?" Russ was grinning at her.

"I think I'd better quit teaching you how to use Huna. You're getting way too good at grasping the concepts and running with them." She paused for a moment. "Do I really have to do this?"

"I think you do. You need to free yourself from the hurt and anger, and short of confronting him face to face in the physical, this is the next best thing."

"You know what is really annoying me right now? That you are right and I should have thought of it myself. I probably would have, given enough time."

Their meals arrived and they were silent as they ate. Melanie was busy thinking about the upcoming 'grumbling' session. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but Russ was right - it would be very beneficial.

"Earth to Melanie." Russ was smiling at her, having a good idea of where her mind was focused. "Are you up for the challenge?"

"I guess I have to practice what I preach, don't I?"

"Especially when it's good for you. You'll let me know how it works out for you?"

"Since it involves you, I guess I should. But don't hold your breath. It may take me a few days to get up enough courage to do this. I'll have to figure out what I want to say, besides calling him a scumbag."

"Probably not the best way to start off your mental conversation."

"That was just another gut reaction. I'll try to control myself. On that note, I'd better get back to work."

"I'll be waiting to hear from you." Russ held the door for her as they exited the restaurant.
