Two weeks later they had fallen out of love when she saw him playing with Melanie Bosc. The next day she had fought Billy herself. When they were twelve they discovered sex together, and she said afterward, "Is that all? That's it?" Drake, enraptured, exalted, ready to do battle with dragons or angels, had declared his undying love for her. "I didn't like it," she said. "It's silly and doesn't feel good, and I'm bleeding. Maybe I'm going to die and go to hell now." "We just need practice," he said desperately. She shook her head. "I don't think so. Maybe I'll become a lesbian or a nun." He didn't know what a lesbian was, and the following fall when he went to the public high school and she went to St. Agnes Girls' School, he thought that was where girls were taught how to be lesbians or nuns. She wouldn't let him touch her again until they were sixteen. Now it was the summer following their graduations from high school and they were walking through her father's apple orchard. Her father was an orthopedic surgeon in Middletown, New York, and he owned a forty-acre apple orchard. His father was a lineman for the telephone company. She was an only child; he had two sisters and a brother.
