Dear City,

I have a fiance back home who I love. I am growing to like someone here too and I don't know what to do.

Is it wrong to like this person here, when I won't remember them back home?

[ There's only a fraction of a pause before he answers. A year ago, he'd have said No with impunity -- his goals were absolute, his concepts secure, his priorities unswerving. But too much has changed now. He's too altered in himself, by what he knows. ]

Everyone changes as time goes on. Especially in such a different place.
