“And how long did that last ? This vow of celibacy ?”

Bette broke into a smile “ The end of Fresher’s week – she was a third year called Katy – she was very cute “

“You are human – being celibate at college is not and never has been an option. And even less when you look like you “

“I lasted a week “ Bette repeated “One day I am breaking my heart because I miss Tina and I love her and how the hell am I going to survive without her and the next  – I am getting naked with this blonde from Texas “

“It doesn’t mean you didn’t love Tina – it meant that you knew you were away from home and there was all this temptation and let me guess – there are beautiful women throwing themselves at you “
Bette nodded

“Its called life and being a student and I bet you had more women than the Texan”

Bette rubbed her neck “ Yes “

“Have you had any contact with her ?”

“No – there wasn’t a day when I didn’t think about her and wonder what she was doing”

“Can I ask you a personal question ? Tell me to mind my own business if you want”

“Fire away “

“How many women have you been in love with ?”

“Did you ace your psychology class Doctor ?”

Megan laughed “ Answer the question please “

“I have really liked some women and even thought I was in love but – but no – there has only been one woman I have been in love with – Tina Kennard “

“So why didn’t you break this ban that your parents seem to have imposed on the two of you when you were 18. I imagine you are a very different person now “

“I am – I didn’t contact her because it wasn’t fair. What if she has fallen in love with someone – what if she doesn’t intend to be there at the station today “

“Do you think she will be there ?”

“I don’t know –  that’s the truth. Her moms and my mom all went to college together . They are very close. I had my mom ringing me last weekend asking me if I was going to show up today “
