Anne,
Well, Anne I have a good answer for you to tell him . You can tell him that you thought about him for a long time and decide it was time to get together and maybe you were scared also. Just be truthful with him . Sometimes these things and a relationship and renewing it needs some time to think. You turned him down because maybe you were scared also. Correct ! Just say what is in your heart and it will guide you all the way . You can ask him how his mother is and so on .

I hope this helps some .

Blessings,
Renee
