Whilst Jane was deciding on this very important decision, Sally was also considering her next steps.
The Endless Freedom Project was approaching the next stage, which would empower women and likely also generate huge changes in the world.
At the same time, she also needed to consider how to respond to Bob's revelation regarding his [True Multiple Projections]…
As far as Allie was concerned, she was naturally extremely excited, but at the same time, hiding the fact that she was Sally would unquestionably lead to a kind of tension and insincerity in their relationship.
Should she tell Bob the Truth?
There were a couple of options available.
First of all, she could just go along with the Undercover mission, continue to monitor the Bob situation and treat the relationship as a kind of task as part of her duties as future Ice Queen of the Anti Rizz Realm.
The second option was to take the plunge and tell Bob the truth, and… see what happened?!?!
She recalled the pivotal events that day at the University Research Centre…
___
After Bob had shown Allie his True Multiple Projections - essentially the fact that he was not just one amazing guy, but in fact a 5-in-1 Sushi Train, Allie had been flabbergasted but at the same time, she also felt that the ball was now in her court.
"Thanks for letting me know this Bob." Allie said sincerely.
"I-I… How am I meant to respond…?!" She was kind of at a loss for words, and at the same time, she also wanted more information. What exactly was Bob after, sharing such a huge secret with her?!?!
"Well I just wanted to let you know. I wanted to get to know you better, but it didn't feel right if I hid such a big thing about myself from you."
Aww…
Allie was inwardly very touched but outwardly she didn't show much expression aside from her eyes softening a touch, taking on board Empress Bing Qi Ling's advice to keep her cards close to her (perfectly proportioned) chest.
Which goes to show that you should never be discouraged even if it appears that in a relationship outwardly they may not be reacting, but if the love, care and friendship is genuine, then it is often the case that things are slowly adding up, quietly in the background…
This could be positive, or negative, but thanks to Bob's ongoing deposits into Allie's relational account, she of course had a very favorable view of Him, but of course still wanted to be safe especially in light of the huge reveal that Bob had just informed her of.
"I'm going to need some time to take this all in…" Allie said quickly.
"It is a lot to take in… I'm not expecting you to decide anything, I just wanted you to know."
Words were one thing.
But in fact, the truth was that it was often the things that you didn't say - that in fact spoke the loudest.
When Bob said that he just wanted to let Allie know, what he was really saying was:
"I trust you. I care. I want to know more about you too."
Such was the power of genuine Rizz!!!!
Of course, with her exceptional intelligence and Intuition of the Ice Queen, Sally immediately understood the undercurrent - Bob was clearly into her, and wanted to express his sincerity and accordingly shared this secret with her.
Of course, all this was well and good, but Bob knew that the reveal was only half of the job done - the second half was tying it back to Allie.
"Whilst the Alter-Egos are their own entities and have their own lives, I could of course respectfully channel their essence - mutual experiences, knowledge and skills with the consent of the other… which means that Essentially, instead of getting just me, you basically get the option for other DLCs of me whenever you feel like…"
"So… like having different flavours of ice cream? So not just vanilla, but chocolate, strawberry, mint, coffee, as well?!?!"
"Only if you feel like it… in the end, I'm still just… me… nothing really changes, but I just thought you should know."
Bob said teasingly.
Allie smiled. Oh. Hehe. That sounded pretty good.
It was like finding out that instead of getting one thing, you actually got 5 things in one!!!
Not bad…
"Thanks for trusting me with your secret Bob…" Allie said.
"I-I need some time to absorb all of this…!"
"No worries," Bob said calmly and channeling the message that he completely had zero expectations - he genuinely was at peace with any outcome - he had no desire to own or coerce Allie into anything - all he wanted to do was tell her the truth about himself with no expectations.
"I've got to go now… thanks for being cool with all of this…" Bob said with a smile.
The tension was electric, Allie as always felt safe and secure and was still processing the specialness of the moment that Bob had opened up to her about.
Bob left the room but his eyes as he gazed at her said it all, conveying a warmth, respect, and a complete control that twinkled with intention - "I see you Allie, I want you… but only if you're okay with that ✨…"
