Fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resist. -Plutarch

L, I have agreed to help a friend move into a new apartment and now I find myself afraid to tell you how near I will be to you. Of course, the favor to her is a pretense to be nearer to you during your visit. I am afraid you won’t see me, afraid you will. I have no true place within your life, and I hardly expect one. I have only ever loved with a true heart, with my hands clean. I do not wish to cause a family to suffer in any way. I would like to speak again before I decide, and we get our hopes up. -T
