Here’s what she claims: she and Felix were clean. Here's what we can guess: Lorin was clean when he last got checked roughly two months previously. I’d bet he was clean at the time of the threesome, and if he was, I was. We all had to admit though: No one knew for certain.
Chapter 11 – Lorin (Part 2): Our One Night Together
We were clearly more than friends, but less than partners, still speaking every day, airing our grievances, but unable to be anything like what we had been. I encouraged him when he got down; he told me how I was free to go, he would understand, but he also told me what missing me did to him.

Flora was a part of my evolution. She was also there for a pivotal part of it.
