January 7, 1990

            Nancy came by at around 18:00 like she said she would. She was very tense and was surprised that I didn’t have an extra room. She said she would sleep in the bathtub but I said, “Don’t be ridiculous!”

            Aside from showing her some of my photographs and chatting a bit I went on with my normal routine as if she hadn’t been there while she went through television withdrawal.

            At bedtime I suggested that we use her sleeping bag as a comforter and cuddle but she nervously insisted that she would sleep alone. She said that just being there was too much already, meaning she’d never been so close to a man in her life.
