“The conversation with my old life never ends”
Meredith's new life in Cambridge doesn't seem as lonely as it did when she was in Hampton. But she still is alone and by herself (hopefully that makes sense). Although she has a boyfriend he is never really around, he's just a roommate. Erick comes and goes as he pleases, they don't speak often, they don't get to know each other. He just leaves her alone with her thoughts, she is always thinking about the past. Meredith is always thinking about her baby, and how old he is now. I don't really understand why Meredith is still with Erick, he doesn't seem like a good person for her to be around. I wish that she and Marni had stayed in contact, she would not have felt so alone if she at least had one friend while living in Cambridge. They also went through something similar. I feel like Meredith just needs to vent to someone, but she has not found the right person to tell her story to.
Their relationship is very interesting. I'm curious to see how you all respond to it, especially as it develops in coming chapters. I get what you're saying about not being alone, but still lonely. She has a barrier up that she is not willing to let down, even to someone who can relate to her. So sad.
