I couldn't believe that Helia wanted to come back to Texas with me. Summer in New York was pleasant for me, but a New York girl experiencing a Texas summer? But Helia paid for the ticket out of her own money, so I guess I couldn't complain much.
"Ooooo, we're gonna have such fun, Strig," cooed Helia, "I've never been to Texas before. This should be fun."
"There's not that much to do, where I'm from Helia," I said, "You'll just get bored."
