Because she was new and inexperienced I tried to warn her about the call, how it would continue to grow and begin to fill her thoughts day and night i... she did not run from it, or just give in to it completely. Fool that I am I tried to ignore her call, and urged her to flee it, but the Darkness will not be ignored. Every time she conversed with me she learned more about my Darkness, and the more she learned about my Darkness the more she became enthralled with it, the stronger the call became.

Our sensors indicate that you are telling the truth. Have you ever thought about cheating on her." No, um. No." Sir, our sensors indicate an incomplete answer." Okay, I've been to some, uh, gentleman's. I was prepared to bet that this was an occasion when the "Little Black Dress" would come out of the closet. My clothes to an extent were little problem. A dark dress suit, cream shirt and tie. Men had it easy! There were preparations to make, and a shopping trip to Anderton was needed. I didn't see Elaine during the interim, although we spoke on the phone every evening. Our phone conversation on Friday night was mainly about arrangements for the morrow. I agreed to pick her up at five o'.
