The following month was a good one for me and Katie. We hung out all the time, and while we did not have sex, Katie was becoming more and more open about physical intimacy. She spent nearly every night with me in my apartment: pushing her sexual limitations, staying up too late, making each other laugh, and inevitably falling asleep in each other's’ arms only to wake up the next day and do it all again. Now despite all of the time we were spending together, we were still apart for a large portion of the day due to classes, work, homework, etc.
