It was a very good weekend. Becca and
I now have our routine. Craig is still sleeping in Mrs. Stoutmiller’s kitchen,
but he arrives back too late to talk to us. Becca doesn’t want to disrespect
Mrs. Stoutmiller, so she is very business-like with Craig. Though I did catch
them flirting with each other.
Becca isn’t a virgin. I guess I
should tell you that. She had a relationship with a guy named Josh in her
junior year that lasted almost nine months. She lost her virginity on impulse
one night. I call it impulse, but the guy told her that she was the one he
wanted to marry. So it wasn’t exactly an impulse decision.
She feels badly that it happened, and
especially how Josh broke up with her afterward. We don’t talk about it much and
I certainly don’t judge her for it. After all, it could’ve been me that
believed his lies. Because of all this, Becca sometimes feels like people are
judging her anyway. That if they knew what really happened, then they would see
she wasn’t as nice as they think.
I think that’s why Becca wanted to
know how Mrs. Stoutmiller lost her virginity. I wonder if Craig knows about how
Becca lost it.
