At ten-fifteen the next morning they met at the student health center and asked to be tested for the AIDS virus. They filled out forms and sat in the waiting room reading magazines and were called in and blood was drawn and the nurse told them to call that afternoon for the results. “Sometimes it takes a couple of days if they’re backed up but it’s been slow this week. I’ll tell them it’s for you, Doctor Light. I think you’ll get these back by five.” She smiled a professional smile and Nieman held open the door for Stella and they walked back out into the waiting room and out the door onto the blooming spring campus. “Are you free tomorrow?” he asked.

“Pretty much. I have some papers to grade.”

“I was thinking we could drive up Highway One to Mendocino and spend the weekend together. I mean, no matter how the tests come out. I want to talk to you. I want to be with you some more. I don’t know how to say all this.”

“I would love to go to Mendocino with you.”

“Will you have dinner with me tonight?”

“Yes. Yes I will.”

“I don’t know where you live.”

“Then you’ll find out, won’t you? Call me at six. If we’re positive, we’ll get drunk. If we’re negative, we’ll, I don’t know.”

“We’ll be negative. Perhaps all we are supposed to do about that is be grateful. I’ll call then. I’ll call at six.”
