He took me to Olympia and to the hotel downtown and then upstairs after we ate. It was the nicest room they had there, and he sat me in this big velvet overstuffed chair and listened to me the rest of the afternoon, never once trying anything sexual. It was snowing outside, you know, and I talked and talked and then we watched some TV and got in bed together and went to sleep. Isn’t that nice?”
