Really, Ilonka thought, Kevin was a fool. She didn't know why she loved him so.

She didn't want to see Kathy--the very thought of the meeting made her ill and yet she felt compelled to face the girl again. As if to see why Kevin preferred the cheerleader to her. Of course, the comparison was ridiculous, apples to oranges. Kathy was healthy and beautiful. Ilonka was sick and--well, beautiful, too.
