More on Anna/Reno - shake a tree

I did some checking with Evert on the way Reno has been reaching to Anna
and to his knowledge Reno has always been courteous and decent, maybe
apart from times when things got emotional and a bit too much. Shows how
much he cared. Anyone should have felt flattered about a person who says
he or she needs her. I know I would. Despite I just met him a few times,
I will go over to his apartment to see if he is there tonight. The phone
remains silent. Many of you have shown you care a lot through private
email. Thank you.

Then he said something that I think is very interesting, and might be
the root source of all problems. See, like this 'chris' person said,
Reno called Anna. Turns out this was only once. Apparently they talked
for 45 minutes at a time when things were bad between them, and this
would have gone on for hours if her dad did not want the phoneline to be
busy that long. This is stalking? Stalking doesn't come near to this.
She willingly accepted the call and apparently felt honoured and felt
comfortable talking to him in all openess. She agreed on slowly talking
again, but did not do so.

What Evert thinks and apparently he discussed this in all sincereness
with Reno a few times, is that deep down, they both love each other more
than a lot, in a "brother-sister" kind of way, but she does not know how
to deal with her feelings or how to express those new kind of feelings.
Her friends who spend time with her on the road last year should be able
to relate to this. If this is true, this is not a bad thing, mind you
but should be worked on (quickly). Evert says she hides it, to protect
herself, which is basically okay. How else can you explain her hard
efforts to be there for him when he needed her while he was in the US,
or his easy ways to comfort her when she's upset or his staying up in
the small hours to being able to talk to her. These two people have
chemnisty between them. We need a spark.

She unintendedly and unknwolingly changed his life for the good (Anna
knows what I am talking about here).

As you can see, based on what his friend Evert said, I know quite a lot
right now and to my honesty, I think they have an unique kind of
relation, which seems to end because of one person's blindness. I, for
one, are going to shake some trees to wake up some people! Who is with
me?

PS. Maybe talking about this in this open forum is not all that
appropriat, but hey - if it safes a life! If you know Reno or Anna, you
CAN make a difference! and show me this list is a community you claim to
be! I think I saw Reno post something about a United Colours of
Something a week ago or so. Move your butts. This is an order.
