“When did you get so vanilla?” That was Drayton’s voice. No way to confuse it with anyone else’s. “Insult me if you like,” Mike said, sounding tired and annoyed. “But my point is still valid.” “Your point is inappropriate. You have no right to expect me to change my behavior or open up about anything I’d prefer to keep to myself. We set up this relationship on purpose to avoid that kind of thing.” “I know how we set the relationship up, but it’s more than a year later now. You really feel no obligation to me and Julia? No obligation at all?” “I feel obligated not to have sex with anyone else, which I’ve already told you I’ve never done. You can sit there on your white horse and act morally superior, if you’d like¸ but your noble act has no foundation.” “You can’t pretend that everything is the same as it was a year ago. Julia and I feel ties of loyalty to you, and you’ve never shown us they’re reciprocated.”
