People do stupid things when they're overcome. Quite a few of my patients, for example, have found that when they fear their spouse is cheating, they start looking for someone else as well. If things are going wrong at work, instead of trying to fix the problem, they quit. A lot of things have been lost in their lives because of this sort of solution. I've always disagreed with the method these characters use as reason. Once, for instance...
There's a woman in my bed.
No. There's a girl in my bed...
Well. That's a very... different thing to wake up to. She's pretty.
What am I thinking? I've picked up a girl! A girl I probably don't even like -- I'll bet everything I know about her makes my skin crawl. And here I was, thinking I was exempt from the fate of all my patients... Sipping my sherry, carefully outside the bounderies of Idiocy and downright Lunacy!
And now, in the clutches of desperation, slowly boiling over into absolute madness, I've found myself next to a potential disaster.
Kit.
Oh, hell, I even hate her name. And yet... She is something entirely different from... From Her. She might be able to take my mind off of all my problems... I can at least try to put up with, well, whatever this new experience has in store for us. She looks refreshing.Young. I'll bet I'd enjoy hearing her views on the world. It would be very interesting to see what life looks like from her point of view.
And you don't have to like a person to have a relationship with them, really... Even if it ends prematurely. Look at Frasier and Lilith. I'm sure Kit couldn't be nearly as strange as Lilith was. Is.
If she is, it ends.
Who knows? This could be... Well... from what I remember of last night, this could be fun.
