I lay awake a long time that night, thinking. I wasn't blaming myself for having had a good time — thank heaven, I wasn't so foolish as to believe that it was wrong for me to have a good time, or that having enjoyed myself was something to be ashamed of. It was simply that I couldn't understand why I had enjoyed myself. How could I have fun with another man? Why would being out with anyone but Ken be fun?

PHIL took his vacation the next week, and went home to see his mother and father. And I missed him — there was no hiding that fact from myself. I hadn't realized, until he was gone, how he had lightened the dull routine of the days — indeed, I hadn't realized how dull the routine of the days had been before he came along. The lone company of Cassy, I found, was not enough — oh, not nearly enough.

The world has to be faced, not hidden from — the sooner you learn to face it, stand up to it, the better. It isn't as if Phil were a beau or a suitor — that would be dreadful, hateful! But he's just a friend, a companion — and what's wrong with that?
There was nothing wrong with it, I finally convinced myself, and there was no disguising the fact that I was glad to see Phil when he finally came back. It was dinner time, and I was feeding
