Love is a Place Ch. 01: The Puzzle

... Georgian terrace. She assumed that Sarah had shared a bed with other people, as there had been 17 occasions during their first year at University when Sarah had not returned to their shared room in the Hall of Residence. Back then they had twin beds. Sarah had not always given details, but it was logical for Samantha to assume that Sarah had shared somebody else's bed on those nights, though it was entirely possible that Sarah had slept on a sofa or in a spare bed on eleven of those nights (the details Sarah had shared about the other six made it clear she had shared a bed).

Thinking over this, Samantha realised that it had been some time since she and Sarah had last spent a night apart. Not since the summer holidays, when they had slept in their respective parents' houses (though even then Sarah had spent many nights at Samantha's house). Since then they had shared a double bed every night since September 18th when they returned to University to begin their Second Year. Samantha wondered whether this counted as evidence. After a minute's reflection and a quick calculation, she added a 4th point to her list of principle evidence.

4. Sarah has not been sexually active for at least 73 days as she has been sharing my bed for that duration.

She then realised that it was possible that Sarah had been pursuing sexual activities with a person or persons unknown but limiting their activities to the day time. She thought that this was highly unlikely, but nevertheless it ...

Samantha understood that models were hired for their physical attractiveness. However, being attractive did not mean sexually active. As a counter argument, however, Samantha reasoned that it was theoretically possible to sexually desire more than one person: being sexually active with others would not prevent her from sexually desiring Samantha. Therefore, Sarah's hypothetical lack of/existence of sexual activity had no bearing on the Puzzle. Samantha deleted point 4 from her principle evidence as it was not pertinent.

She read back through points 1 to 3 and wondered whether any constituted a Problem. She immediately dismissed Number 1. Samantha made sure to hug Sarah at least twice a day, following advice she had received many years ago about displaying appropriate affection to important people in her life. Sarah was very important to her. Hugging in bed seemed much the same to her as hugging out of bed, ergo Number 1 was not a Problem. Likewise, Number 2 was not an issue. Sometimes when they hugged they touched each other's skin. Sometimes Samantha did this on purpose, touching Sarah on her arm or back as another indicator to show Sarah that she was important to Samantha. This was a ...
