(('Colder', huh? Where'd that idea come from?

Sorry for the long delay, btw. R/L can be a bitch sometimes.))

Samantha smiled as she looked up at Diana, staring lovingly into her pretty blue eyes as she stroked her silky blond hair with one hand, the other resting on Diana's back. "That makes the two of us, Diana. You know, I've never really been in love before...Not until I met you."

After a moment's silence, Samantha smiled brightly as she added, "Say, I've got a nice big dorm room all to myself. If you're in the market for a roomie, I'd love it if you moved in with me. Then we could be together all the time. Would you like that?"

"I once thought I was in love. I might still be, but with someone else. Sondra was very kind and welcoming to me, but someone needs her love and compassion much more then me. I've accepted that and moved on. Although I will still feel a small sliver of yearning for her, my love now belongs to you. I'd love to move in with you. Plus, I think Linnis and Sondra have a full enough room as it is." I closed my eyes and snuggled my head between Samantha's warm breasts. A tear trickled down my eyes, staining her shirt. This is it, Sondra. I've finally moved on.. I hope you're happy for me, because I'm happy for you right now.

No, I had been wrong. The voice was all wrong for the bluenette... probably a relation, though, I surmised. She did bear a very strong resemblance to Sunnie's girlfriend. But what commanded a majority of my attention was their discussion. It lifted a lot of my guilt, which was a really rather major burden for me. It was hard for me to feel comfortable with Sondra with this hanging over us like a Sword of Damocles. Maybe now I'd relax, and we'd be more comfortable. Maybe this would lift any coldness between us, be it in her heart or in my head.

I nodded and was ready to leave, but it seemed my idiotic ways were back to bite me. I stepped forward, but my foot caught on a root or some such nonsense, and I went falling with a shriek, which I did try to stifle as I noticed it. THUD! and the world seemed to blur for a moment. Crap... please don[t black out... I told myself, and imagine that I remained conscious through sheer force of will alone, but had bumped my head and hurt my ankle.

"Sondra Van Ryan? Kat and I have Art Class with her. She's certainly a very...interesting woman. I know my sister thinks very highly of Sondra, and that's enough for me to like her. I'm sorry things didn't work out with the two of you..."

Just then, Samantha heard a loud noise from nearby, like somebody letting out a shriek, followed by a loud thud as something hit the ground. Turning her head sharply to see where the sound had come from, Samantha saw an attractive teal-haired girl on the ground, obviously in a lot of pain.

"Hey, are you alright? What happened?"

I was seeing double, and felt fairly crappy, "Well, I overheard you, and was going to leave you two to talk, but seem to have failed." I looked at Diana with a sad smile, "Hey, Di...." Truth be told, my vision was too blurry to see her, but I knew where her voice came from, and so could guess where to look pretty well, "sorry."
