Once you've all read this, please, no comments about Cal being PWd. He's 16/17, was a virgin when he landed here, and now has 16 women in his life. Of COURSE, he's PWd.
I may have been unconsciously influenced by a certain author during a scene in this chapter, too. I literally just realized that after reading it one more time this morning before posting. You'll see, Saturday morning.
(For the clueless out there - pussy whipped)
