Kiss and Tell

"I don't know why I felt I owed such devotion to Reeves. Perhaps it was because he was the only man I had ever kissed, and the awful tyranny of pity. I knew he was not faithful to me sexually, but that did not matter to me, nor am I an especially maternal women. We might have been far, far happier as casual friends. But that's not the way it happened."
