K.S. who was far more communicative than she had ever known him to be, said, ?I thought very much of you in the beginning. The anger was still very great. But distance was what I needed. Distance and time. Gradually the pain disappeared, with the work, the friends, the traveling. I never did so much traveling in my life. And then I met Jocelyn.? He went on talking happily, a taciturn, wry man transformed by love.
?Flee, flee,? Li-ann almost wanted to scream at him. ?Free from that woman. She?s not worthy of you. It?s not spite talking, it?s the true concern of a friend who is all the more concerned now because she has let you down.? Then she wanted to scream at herself, ?Come down from that high-ground of faked nobility. You?re just plain annoyed because you never thought K.S. would love anybody else.?

A Leap of Love,
Catherine Lim
