Olivia, Olivia, Olivia. When will you stop? It’s over or rather it should be over. You didn’t get everything you wanted, but you got something. When will you let it go?
I got more information about the hearing. Chas was told three things. 1) Don’t go in her apartment. 2) Don’t talk to her. 3) Don’t stare at her. Olivia entered the dining room during the Bingo break when people stopped to get snacks. I was sitting at a corner table with Rocky (Maintenance) and Chas. Chas had his back to the rest of the room. Olivia came in and went to get herself a cup of tea. Rocky had a full direct view of her and I could see her in my peripheral vision. Chas saw nothing. She stood behind him about 10 feet slowly making her cup of tea while boring a hole in the back of his head the entire time. Fortunately Chas did not get that funny feeling we all sometime get when we feel someone looking at us.
They are allowed to be in the same space — but no staring — by him. There is nothing to prevent her from staring at him. Olivia went to the pool table room and sat in front of the fire having a conversation with another woman. When Bingo was over and people were beginning to mingle about She stood and moved close to the door connecting the two rooms. I felt like she was waiting for him to come by.
When Chas was getting ready to leave I asked that he come with me to my car. Why? Don’t ask just come. I directed him through the kitchen and out to the garage door. Leaving the kitchen he saw her standing at the entrance to the poolroom, but immediately turned right and left the building. When we got in the garage he asked if that was why we were heading to my car. Absolutely. I told him to write this down in his notebook about Olivia.
Later that night Gail came for a visit and we compared notes. I learned that when the boss arrived at court her came in, patted Chas on the shoulder and told him everything was going to be all right. Then she sat beside him. Olivia could not have missed this or the implications of the gesture. The boss asked to address the court and mentioned she believed this had been settled two weeks ago. The retraining order was filed two days after that meeting that was meant to end the conflict.
Olivia had better watch herself. I suspect management is looking for a reason to evict her. It takes some time, but it can be done. I predict she will move by summer. Either her choice or not!
