Chapter 100

• Sam had always liked Marie despite the differences in social groups. Marie had always seemed friendly and non-judgmental. She had been good company when they were working together. For quite some time Sam had felt the need to talk to someone else about what was going on with her life. She decided to share a bit of her life with Marie.
• "My life with Larry is okay. Unfortunately, while we are married to each other, we are even more married to our work. When I met Sally, I realized that something was missing. She and I have been together for three months now and are having a great time together. We're only here for a week and then we have to go back home. Unfortunately I don't know how we're going to deal with it then."
• Marie wanted to ask all sorts of questions but didn't think that it was the time or place, so she started telling Sam about her current lover Deborah who was a librarian at the school. "You could describe us as a monogamous lesbian couple, with a little kinkiness buried inside," she joked, looking at her friend warmly.
