Coll and Art have had a passionate relationship but Coll is starting to feel that it's no longer what she wants. It's hard to contemplate the end of things but if they stay together, she just might find herself sucked under completely. I sat back on my bed, heart hammering. So that's what I was. A friend.

You're not my friend.
