Monday, May 5, nurse’s office

Oh, my God, that was so dramatic, I can barely write. Seriously. I have never seen so much blood.

I am almost surely destined for some kind of career in the medical sciences, however, because I didn’t feel like fainting. Not even once. In fact, except for Michael and maybe Lars, I think I am the only person in the room to have kept my head. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that, being a writer, I am a natural observer of all human interactions, and I saw what was coming before anyone… maybe even Boris. The nurse even said that if it hadn’t been for my quick intervention, Boris might have lost a lot more blood. Ha! How’s that for princesslike behavior, Grandmère? I saved a guy’s life!

Well, okay, maybe not his life, but whatever, Boris might have passed out or something if it hadn’t been for me. I can’t even imagine what caused him to freak out like that. Well, yes, I guess I can. I think the silence in the G and T room caused Boris to go momentarily mental. Seriously.

I can totally see how it would, since it was bugging me, as well.

Anyway, what happened was, we were all just sitting there minding our own business—well, except for me, of course, since I was watching Boris—when all of a sudden he stood up and went, “Lilly, I can’t take this anymore! You can’t do this to me! You’ve got to give me a chance to prove my undying devotion!”

Or at least it was something like that. It’s kind of hard to remember, given what happened next.

I do remember how Lilly replied, however. She was actually somewhat kind. You could tell she felt a little bit bad about her behavior toward Boris at my party. She went, in a nice voice, “Boris, seriously, I am so sorry, especially about the way it happened. But the truth is, when a love like mine for Jangbu takes hold, there’s no stopping it. You can’t hold back New York baseball fans when the Yankees win the World Series. You can’t hold back New York shoppers when Century Twenty-one has a sale. You can’t hold back the floodwaters in the F train subway tunnels when it pours. Similarly, you can’t hold back love like the kind I feel for Jangbu. I am so, so sorry about it, but seriously, there’s nothing I can do. I love him.”

These words, gently as they were spoken—and even I, Lilly’s severest critic, with the possible exception of her brother, will admit they were spoken gently—seemed to hit Boris like a fist. He shuddered all over. Next thing I knew, he’d picked up the giant globe next to him—which really was a feat of some athleticism—that globe weighs a ton. In fact, the reason it’s in the G and T room is that it’s so heavy, nobody can get it to spin anymore, so the administration, rather than throwing it away, must have figured, well, just stick it in the classroom with the nerds, they’ll take anything….
