We haven't been able to have a meeting like our last for a while, but we have shared several conversations. I learned about her last time, but I can't get enough of Julia and who she is.
She told me she lives in a hostel with 30 other girls, which she hates. It's hard to imagine Julia in such an environment, but from what I've observed, she can clearly adapt and fit in to any situation. She also has always been an active leader in the Junior Anti-Sex League and other such organizations, despite having her first love affair at 16.
I told Julia about Katharine. It wasn't strange or awkward to talk to her about such topics, because I feel about Julia the way I never felt about Katharine. I told her about the time we got lost on a hiking trip and while she was looking over a cliff (at two different colored flowers growing from the same root in the cracks of the cliff), I almost pushed her off. Sometimes I wish now I had, for Julia and I could be married, although the Party would never approve of the match.
But probably the most important piece of knowledge I learned about Julia, is that rebellion doesn't mean much to her. Yes, she enjoys breaking the rules, but she doesn't care about changing the world we live in. She just cares about us and right now, which isn't necessarily an awful act, because I love loving someone and having someone love me back. Someone actually in love with me, not just a marriage and a weekly duty to the party. Real love.
