章 140: Epilogue

I smiled as I thought about the "good" parts. Hours had already passed, and I'd been talking for a long time. I kept having to pause here and there to reminisce about some of the sexual shenanigans I'd gotten into that Junior Year and the bookend summers. Oh, I hadn't shared THOSE intimate stories with my son. It was enough for him to know that I'd dated and had sex with a variety of girls; he didn't need to know the gory details. As my mind passed over the chronology ranging from keeping house with Dawn that first summer to the whirlwind at the end with Amber, I'd cherry picked out the key events that would help BJ understand the life I'd lived with my roommates and the important girls who had come into my life, including with his mother. I hoped that he now had a better understanding of what his mom had meant to me, and also why we simply weren't on a path that would lead to marriage.
