Jason had anticipated this, because it was a battle he had fought many times before. Boy meets
girl; boy and girl sleep together; boy dodges pressure for exclusivity for as long as he can before girl
gives up and repeats the cycle with someone new. The cycle lasted anywhere from a month to a year,
depending on the girl, and if there was a way to avoid it, Jason hadn’t found it yet. The solution, as he
saw it, was to keep a constant mass of girls in his life, rotating them in and out of his bed as their cycles of infatuation, hope, and disillusionment waxed and waned. He sent two text messages, but neither were to Emily.
