Read the text on slide 20. I also began to see more of Jordan, and our friendship developed into something more affectionate. I was certainly comfortable in her company, but something seemed to draw me back from falling in love. Was it because Jordan had a way of evading responsibility – or blame- when she was at fault for something, even a small action? That behavior seemed to carry over into her golf career as well, and I heard stories about cheating claims that had been hushed up. None of that sat well with my sense of my own honesty. (Text located on Pg 21 of the book)
