I feel both guilty and defensive Guilty because I did this to Nathan, whatever my intentions Defensive because I certainly didn’t force him to react in this hich will only make it worse for him, if not me

In the one-in-a-million chance that Nathan can persuade someone to trace my emails, I realize I can’t check this account from people’s homes anymore Because if he can do that, he’ll be able to chart most of the houses I’ve been in over the past two or three years … which will lead to a lot of confusing conversations

Part of me wants to write back to hih Especially because I don’t havetiaret Weiss’s boyfriend, Sam, likes to kiss her A lot Public, private--it doesn’t ets a chance to aret quickly coins Saaret with the sweet quicksand of his love Froaret is usually just as willing to do the sa with Sam It’s a miracle that she still has friends

There’s a quiz in science Judging fro, it appears that I know aret does It’s her lucky day

I aet rid of Sah I’ve separated thearet separated at the hips At lunch, he puts one of his hands in her back pocket while he eats, and then pouts when Margaret doesn’t do the saether, and he spends all of it stroking her and talking to her about the hth period is the only class they don’t have together, so I decide to run with it As soon as Sao to the teacher, say she’s going to the nurse, and head straight to the library

First, I finish forwarding all my emails from my old account All that remyself to delete the account For some reason, I want him to be able to contact me I feel that much responsibility

I load up the new e Rhiannon back Much to my surprise, there’s already another email from her Giddy, I open it

Nathan,

Apparently, Steve doesn’t have a cousin Nathan, and none of his cousins were at his party Care to explain?

Rhiannon

I don’t deliberate I don’t weigh my options I just type and hit send

Rhiannon,

I can, indeed, explain Can we meet up? It’s the kind of explanation that needs to be done in person

Love,

Nathan
