Even then, the conversations were stilted. I was still in shock about the events in the barn and they'd clearly unsettled Peter as well. One day after...the New Year, our Mums and sisters went off for the day on a shopping trip, so I took the opportunity to visit Peter. He was standoffish with me.“What’s the matter? Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?”"I do, but I'm scared that we’re getting too close.”“You mean emotionally.”“Yes, I want to be your friend, not your lover.”“Can’t we go back to. "How could you say such a thing?"I tried to explain, but my explanation was puerile, utterly puerile. In essence I was blaming her for Ray's over-familiarity with her, blaming her for my own impotence. I looked at the floor, knowing full well that if I were to look at her, I would also break down in tears.But it was to no avail because I no sooner felt her arms envelop me, than I too, was silently weeping. I had set out to comfort her, but instead she was now comforting me; comforting me even. . perhaps because her own writing is so much like chicken scratch,” Sam answered, getting a playful elbow to his cushy torso that could well absorb the blow, “seriously, though, it’s true. She’s been a tremendous aid to me and this matter is coming along well, as is the transportation of as many criminals and other captives as we can send to the Wall. My former brethren of the Night’s Watch will be much better reinforced, even if they won’t have much time to train these fellows.”“Sink or swim,.
