It's not like I put virginity or celibacy on a pedestal, and as long as I don't get your promiscuity rubbed into my face- I don't care about it! What I do care about is the ability to recognize the sanctity of a union of two souls- you just can't say your soul isn't being united with others' when you have sex with them. So I think you'd better own up to what you're doing- no matter how frequently or infrequently or with how many different people you do it. I mean, make good choices! You are, after all, entwining your soul with another's."

Clearly, he'd been comfortable with me, grabbing my hand as he had that first day. As if he knew, even then, that we'd be here now."
