"Well I'm still young and single, and I want to make a difference in the world if I can... But I really just want to settle down and raise a family. I just want to make a better world for that family before I actually have to worry about it."

"Nah, I'm not hungry, but thanks anyway, Sofia." Cambridge replies politely. Sie sits down in the kitchen, but keeps quiet. This is time for Selja and Sofia to catch up.

"Yeah, that sounds good." I say as we walk into the kitchen. "Yeah Vossya isn't as good of a man as I thought he was... Like I said he just ignored me and told me to my face that he'd never love me, and even after I told him I was carrying his baby he slept with a stranger, and tried to tell me it was her idea..." I sit down and pick at the humus.

"He is still around. He is one of the heads of a corporation called Patria. He recently orchestrated some.. things...in Sierra Leone and and Congo. He has an office in London. I went there before coming here to try to convince him that perhaps his business methods reflect badly on capitalism and Britain."
"I'm sorry, I'm talking a lot about myself. I take it that you don't have a girlfriend. You are one of those free love people.."

"And those are nice goals. I want to impact the world as well, but care very little about my personal life." Niilo replies. "And what would you give to acheive that happiness or those goals that you desire?"

Just let it go. You don't need a man like that anyway. I am sure mom and dad will help you out with the pregnancy. I haven't told them yet. It wasn't my place. But maybe we can both go there together and you can tell them the good news.

"Just about anything." I say, not sure how much I really mean it, but I do mean what I say when I stated my goals. I do just want a simple life and a family, but I want to make a difference while I can.

Cambridge continues to listen. Sie doesn't have much to say to the sisters. Hir mind starts wandering. Sie thinks about Sakari. Sie also thinks about Tom. Sie wonders what they are up to.

"Perhaps there is some way for me to help you towards your goals. I enjoy helping people. It gives me purpose. What do you think is the biggest obstical that stands in your way, Tom?" Niilo eats some more of his eggs and washes them down with a long swig of whole milk.
