"The plan is simple," I said once I ultimately gave up on forcing Mia to pick the exact path we would follow.
Given her intention to leave everything to me would mean that forcing her to be the one leading would be actually against her wishes.
'She was able to pinpoint the problems and potential solutions,' I thought. 'That's why the execution of those things can be left to me,' I added in my thoughts, trying to rationalize my clear favoritism towards the girl.
"First, we need to secure this place," Mia added, proving that she wasn't going to completely give up on the role I attempted to push on her.
'Maybe she feels better with tackling things one by one?' I guessed in my mind. 'Sometimes trying to form a plan encompassing all the problems and solutions can feel overwhelming,' I admitted, recalling a harsh lesson I once learned.
Back on earth, I struggled with the same type of scenario as well.
