WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS NOW? YOU'VE BEEN IN TOWN FOR A
YEAR.
I... I COULDN'T FACE WHAT A SCHMUCK I'D BEEN. BUT I'VE HAD AN EPIPHANY! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I FEEL REMORSE. I WANT TO ATONE FOR MY MISTAKES. I WANT TO REDEEM MYSELF!
THERE'S SOMETHING ODDLY FAMILIAR ABOUT THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYE. THIS LITTLE RELIGIOUS FIT WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU TRYING TO GET INTO MO'S PANTS, WOULD IT?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! SHE HAS NO IDEA I'M HERE! AND DON'T TELL HER, EITHER. THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
MEANWHILE,
EANWHILE, DOWN AT THE Y... HARRIET, HI! HEY, STRANGER! WHERE'VE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU BEEN? I THOUGHT I'D YOU IN AGES! SEE YOU AT CLARICE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY LAST WEEK.
UH... CLARICE AND
I ARE SORT OF ON HIATUS LATELY.
ARE YOU AND LOIS "ON HIATUS" TOO? AND WHO'S THIS SYDNEY WOMAN YOU'VE TAKEN UP WITH?

GOD! YOU KNOW SO MUCH, YOU TELL ME! EXCEPT I HAVEN'T TAKEN UP" WITH HER. THERE WAS FLIRTING, I ADMIT, BUT I DON'T REALLY TRUST HER.
MAYBE NOT, BUT SOME. THING'S UP. I REMEMBER THAT GLAZED EXPRESSION FROM WHEN WE WERE FIRST GOING OUT. EVEN TUALLY I REALIZED IT WASN'T STUPIDITY, JUST LUST.
