I had a sudden thought."Is there a cafe?" I asked."A small one on the village square," said Gerda. "Why do you ask?" It's a beautiful day. It occurred...to me that after I've looked around itwould be nice to sit at a table in the sunshine and to enjoy a book. Icouldn't help noticing you had a lot in your study, Helmut, would it beall right if I borrowed one?" The castle has a library," said Gerda, "and you're more likely to findsomething to your taste there. The books in Helmut's study are all. The senior lockers were strung down those two long corridors. At the far end, the big gym connected the two sides, making a central courtyard where the seniors liked to hang out. I wasn’t the only kid lost in that maze on my first day. All of the teachers stood outside their classrooms and helped us fresh fish find our way around. A bookish little girl who had ridden into town on my bus had the locker next to mine. She took pity on me as I struggled correctly work the combination to open. Somehow, one of us(I think it was me) started joking about how we had planned so many things, but didn't do any. And I think it was her who dared me...in the process, I lost my pants and shirt and suddenly just sat there in my undies...and before we knew it, we were on the couch, kissing each other passionately. She took off her jeans and blouse and our kissing became more and more passionate. I loved to see how the more passionate we became, the younger and even prettier she looked. She really. Walter wanted me to go speak with Carla, to find out whether she wanted a divorce or not. I asked him why he didn't call her, and he said that he just didn't trust himself to do it."Do you want a divorce Walter?" If she does, then yeah, I do too." And if she doesn't?" Find out why she doesn't." And then what?" Then tell me what she said." Luckily for all of us, I had nothing else that I wanted to do that was more important than that. I drove over to Carla's apartment. Walter gave me her.
