"I don't know. April. It would be very convenient or simple to say no, but I didn't know about myself, so how can I predict what's in store for you? You'll have to examine and come to understand your own feelings. I don't believe you have to be like me because of some inherited thing, but I don't know."

I nodded. "I guess I really was behaving like a child back there. I’m sorry."

"Not at all," she said.

She put her arm around me, and we walked

along for quite a while without saying a word. I felt she wasn't simply embracing me with her arm but was wrapping her heart around me as well. She had trusted me with her innermost feelings and revelations. She had bared herself in a way she hadn't in all our lives together. We were never closer as sisters than we were at this moment, and yet I felt we were also farther apart in a different sort of way. I had a chasm of mis-understandings about myself and about her to cross before we could truly say we accepted each other. That would take time, and maybe, maybe, it would never happen.

Celia was waiting for us outside the dormitory.

"Hey," she called. "What happened to you two? I was starting to worry."

"We took a little detour," Brenda explained.

Celia nodded and turned to me.

"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable in any way back there," she said.

"No, it's all right,"

"Oh?" She looked at Brenda and in a moment knew all that had passed between us. "Great, Well, I'm tired. and I didn't play a second in that grueling game, so I can't even imagine how you feel."

"Tired. Let's all get some sleep," Brenda said.

"We can have breakfast and maybe show April some of our more fun places in the city,"

"I think I'd better set out for home right after breakfast. Mama makes me nervous," I said.

Brenda nodded. "Fine. We'll follow you next weekend, and we'll get her to go out to dinner again."

There were some girls and their boyfriends sitting around one of the settee and chair arrangements in the lobby. When we entered, one of the boys called out. ''Great game."

"Thanks," Brenda called back, and we went up the stairs to the rooms. "Are you all right?" Brenda asked me at the door to mine. "Is it comfortable enough?"
