I hoped that one incident wasn’t a problem. But I knew she had used condoms with every other guy before me, so it should be OK. I’d have to think ...bout that one.“Well, you weren’t a virgin, and neither was Jennie.”I figured it was safe to use the name because Melanie already knew and Michelle didn’t know who that was and wouldn’t violate my confidence anyway.“That’s true. But I’m pretty sure both of us are OK. Jennie hadn’t had sex in 5 years and Stan and I were both virgins.”Michelle chimed in. "Jamie, I promise I won't say anything, it's fine by me. You look great,honestly."He took my hand and squeezed it gently. Oh God, here I was, dressed as awoman with a man holding my hand. I bent my head towards him, "Thankyou, Shane, you're so sweet." He let go of my hand and for some strangereason, I missed him holding it. I had to sort what to do after this, soI excused myself and told him I had to go the toilet. I squeezed pasthim and found the toilets at the back of the ferry. I was heading. I think I had better go and polish my shoes again. They are looking a little jaded. I must have scuffed them this morning.” I escaped her plaudits and retired to my pantry and my posted schedule, to see what I needed to do later today.I found that I genuinely had not completed the confirmation of matching images to inventory items. I had confirmed the first twenty, and got bored. I really ought to do some more.The boring bit was selecting which of several images was the best one for attaching. Anyway they gave me a big enema and I'm OK now." She said quickly causing me to pull over and sit on the shoulder with my head in my hands in disbelief."You aren't going to talk about menstrual cycles are you?" I asked her incredulously."No, but I should get to a doctor for a check up. I 'm sure I'm OK because that was one thing I was very careful about. If you ask another girl for a tampon they always give it to you." She said in her blabber-mouth staccato.I put the car back into gear as I.
