“I kissedyou?”

“And I know it’s dangerous to wake up a sleepwalker, so I letyou.”

“You let me kissyou?”

“I kissed youback.”

“Is that all wedid?”

“That’s all I did. But you…you touched me. You know. My manhood. Over my clothes. Briefly. And then you fell unconscious. It all happened very quickly. It seemed at the time that it would be best if I didn’t tell you, since, I thought you were in arelationship.”

“I see. Okay. I guess. I mean I don’t know what the proper etiquette would be in thatsituation.”

“You see what Imean.”

“I see what youmean.”

“Are youangry?”

“I don’t think so. I mean. I’m the one who behaved inappropriately,right?”

“I was hoping you’d see it that way.” I laughed. She sort of laughed. “Well now, all of our cards are on the table.Right?”

She didn’t answer right away. “Yeah. Of course.” She kissed me. She had to kiss me again and again, several times, before she was focused on kissing me, but the rest of the night wassublime.
