The tea was lovely and the treats delicious, but afterward we got down towhat he wanted to talk about."I'm getting married," he said."Congratulations,... I replied, "is it to Artic Princess? The papers like tospeculate about you two." No, she really is just a friend. The person I'm marrying is a civilian -and a guy."I took that in while taking a sip of tea, I couldn't say I was shockedthat True North was gay, in fact I was more surprised he wasn't marrying acape."Well, I appreciate you trusting. I didn't fuck Zoë. In fact, I started drinking the moment I stepped into my room in a flophouse.
