Chapter 151

“Two?”

“Are you asking me?”

Dean took another look at the list. “Yes, two.”

“Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.”

“Yeah, that.”

“Why?”

Dean scanned the list again. “None of the others fit.”

“I’m not surprised. Many people don’t fit these categories. You said one, and then picked two. You might be one-point-five for instance. A few years ago you might have placed yourself at zero—exclusively heterosexual.”

Dean nodded.

“A few years from now the scale might change again.”

Dean shook his head.

Candice raised an eyebrow as if to ask, “Why not?” She said, “For now it matters not. Things for you may change or they may not. Life is fluid.”

Dean had been staring at the list then snapped his head up. “I like that.” He spoke without thinking.

“Which part?”

“The life being fluid part.”

“Is that how you feel?”

“Yes. No. Maybe. Maybe I do. Maybe I have.”

“In this fluidity, is there any room for you being bisexual?”
