Chapter 1505 Crazy Pleasures In The Dark:>Ep43

• (Nancy was shared by two departments, she expected to be the lowest priority for scheduling. But more than once Nancy's two department chairmen got a late notice of a conflict from the Provost. No reason was given, but suddenly they had to make a series of bothersome last minute schedule changes that happened to coincide with Nancy's first preferences. These were a spectacular inconvenience for both professional assholes. Like Pavlov's dogs, they learned - after that Nancy got what she asked for first - even if the dogs didn't understand why.)
• That got us talking about Nancy's known proclivity for "worthless townie guys." Isabel had a theory about when and how a young girl formed her sexual inclinations. Isabel attributed her own "health" in this area to her parents. It wasn't until she was isolated from them (she buried herself in getting through her PhD program) that she became vulnerable to Jorge, an older man who mimicked a romantic interest.
• As I resumed moving in her body, Isabel told me a secret about her own sexual background. It started with summers up north, the family had a cabin on a lake in an area that was "clothing optional" with access strictly restricted to the immediate Brumhulds (Ivan was effectively a third parent) plus a few descendants of upper-level Hightower employees, all with isolated cabins around the lake. In the summer heat everybody at the lake wore bug spray and very little else. "Taking extra showers and doing laundry seemed like a waste of time and resources."
