Re: Marlene/Louis
Marlene sighed, because she didn't like to see boys look so dejected. She pulled herself up and sat next to him. "I never said you were. In fact, he was doing all the groping from where I was standing."
She smiled at the boy. "No one is upset with you, and it's not like you can leave him alone if he doesn't want to be left alone, it's just... things are complicated, and you shouldn't have to deal with all of that. You must have had quite the return if that was the first thing you did. Or maybe you had some bad weeks before dying. The thing is, love, that uncomplicated sex only helps if it's uncomplicated."
