Jim and Petra

Preamble

This is the third story in a sequence. The first, A Son of Martha, tells the story of the transition of an asocial nerd (Jim Price) to socially functioning young man with a girlfriend — Petra. In the second, told by Jim himself, Petra encourages Jim to date a friend of hers, Susheela, with whom he falls in love. Ideally these two stories should be read in sequence, with this one following in third place.
