Reading about a couple's love life, a stranger online becomes part of it. "I didn't know how he felt looking at Akemi and me together, an American with a woman from his country. Likely, if his reaction was one of scorn, it would be directed less to me than toward Akemi. I couldn't tell from his neutral eyes if he viewed her with contempt. Some people consider a woman who goes with a guy from another country, a Western one, a traitor, effectively a whore." Short chapters added often.
