Love is a Place Ch. 01: The Puzzle

... further part of the advice she had been given. Sarah also did this to her, often to get Samantha's attention to ensure she knew she was being spoken to as she didn't always realise this. She appreciated Sarah looking out for her in this way as it meant many potential Problems did not arise.

Samantha re-read Number 3. She felt like it ought to be a Problem, but didn't feel it actually was. Sarah had not hurt her, unlike the last time her breasts had been touched (Problem Sub:Michael Burns 3) which had been a massive Problem leading to further Problems (Problem Sub:Head of Year 34 andProblem Sub:PC Winterbourne 1). There was also a question about responsibility: Samantha wasn't sure whether people could be held responsible for what they did in their sleep. She made a note:

Actions:

1.Research whether somebody can be held responsible for actions carried out while in a sleeping or otherwise unconscious state.

However, even as she wrote it, Samantha thought that it didn't really matter. Somehow it still wouldn't be a Problem even if legal opinion held that people could be held responsible for actions committed while asleep. So why was it not a Problem?

Not finding an answer, Samantha tried a different approach. She tried to find a parallel experience she could relate this to in order to predict the potential outcomes of it being a Problem. The closest she could come to was when she hadn't wanted to play basketball in PE because of the unwanted physical contact. ...

... The result of that was that she was allowed to stop the activity which led to the unwanted contact. Therefore, Samantha reasoned, if Number 3 was a Problem, then it might result in Samantha and Sarah no longer sharing a bed.

Samantha immediately felt a folding in her chest and the sounds near her began to smell like the bottom of the fridge had when they'd moved in. She did not want to stop sharing a bed with Sarah. The consequence of that would be to stop sharing a room, as there was only a double bed in their room and no space for another. This would be a massive Problem. They needed to share a room to save money. They also needed not to alert their landlord to the fact that Samantha lived there too, which they would if they asked to change the double bed for bunk beds. That would cause another Problem. It could jeopardise Samantha's ability to live with Sarah: Samantha might have to leave to live elsewhere. That would probably require being categorised as a Disaster. The stench of the conversations nearby intensified and Samantha covered her ears to try to shut out the rotten reek of chatter.

To distract herself, she began to review the euchromatic section of the human genome. It took 3 minutes. It calmed her and the smell receded.

She still had 7 minutes before her lecture started. She decided she would like to think of further actions.

Normally, she would discuss Puzzles with Sarah. It would often be a topic of conversation between them at night before they ...
