"I'm sorry... I'll stay around here next time. I'd do anything for you Cambridge, you know that..." I hug her back, trying to comfort her.

I rub his back and try to comfort him. "Don't worry about it. Things will work out."
"So, I visited a socialist named Hope Dayspring today, but she was a little anxious around me and things did not go so well."
"So then I called someone named Valodya Bassarov, who is a Trotskyist I met this past winter. I may be going to see him soon."

"Thanks. I am sorry. I feel like such a tramp. I am not really like that. I don't just go around sleeping with strangers. It was a stupid thing to do. Thanks for putting up with me Tom. I don't know who else would. Sometimes I don't even understand myself."

I almost go stiff at the mention of my father's name, but I manage not to show it. "Oh, that's interesting. I think I've heard of him, an active Trotskyist with a million girlfriends. I'm planning to meet him too sometime.

"Maybe we could travel together. I do like him. I think I feel a stronger attraction to you though."
"And don't be so glum, please. I hate to see you like that." I say to him. It is odd but I feel like we have been together much longer than we have been.
I kiss his cheek again.

I pat hir on the back, and want to tell hir that I love hir, but instead settle for "That's what friends are for. You're a good person, better than me, but we all make mistakes."

"Ah Tom, I'm not better than you. I am a rotten person, I always hurt you, and then I go and do stupid things like that. And I pine day and night for Sakari. I think about him all the time and love him intensely and he could care less. I am just a mess, Tom." Cambridge says and hugs him again. Sie sits there and takes a deep breath.

"Well that'll be fun. Sure, why not?" I say as my nerves calm back down. I kiss her back and wrap my arm around her and sit down.

I pat hir and tighten my hug for a second. "You're not rotten..." is all I say, though I want to go on and say sie should dump Sakari and go with someone that would stick with her, but that would be inappropriate...

"Let's just lay together. I am about to go to sleep anyway. And perhaps tomorrow we could do something together. Maybe we could both meet Hope, or both meet these WSM people. " I suggest to him, and start slipping out of my clothes.
"I thought of you today while you were away. I am glad that I met you. But I am sorry that things didn't work out today with that other woman. I am sorry..." I say and mean it. I am someone who is above jealousy. I am confident enough in who I am that I have no need for it.
I get under the covers and wait for him.

"I should get some shut eye. I hope that Vassarion doesn't come back. I don't think I can face him. Kind of like you after what happened with us. I just want to run away. But I can't. So, I just hope he doesn't come here. I am sorry Tom. I really am." Cambridge says and pulls away from him. Sie goes to hir dresser and changes into hir pajamas.

"And I'm glad I met you too, and glad you understand." I say as I undress and lay down next to her. "Well goodnight, see you in the morning."

"Good night." I wrap my arms around him and tuck my head into his shoulder. I kiss his chest, then close my eyes for some rest. I do feel glad to be with him. I think about it a little before drifting to sleep.

I nod, still feeling a strange mix of emotions over that night. "I'll do what I can to keep him away. And with anything else you need." I say. "I'm gonna go sleep on the couch, and just don;t worry about it. We all still lo.. like and respect you."
