Dear Aunt Aggie,
I have a problem that I hope you can solve. Three years ago, I met a girl, A, for whom I completely fell head over heels.
We started going together and soon became an item. Recently there has been talk of marriage between her and her parents. During
the same time, a good friend of mine, B, broke off with her boyfriend and sought consolation in me. Being a good friend, I
was always there for her and before I knew it, started having feelings for her too. This was of course not known to A, with
whom I'm still going out.
At the same time, for reasons I am not sure of, I have decided not to tell B about A. Not too long ago I met B's family
and B's sister, C, took liking in me and asked me to join her and her friends for an outing. Not wanting to disappoint her,
I obliged, not letting B know. At the outing, I met an old friend, D, whom I haven't seen for a long time. She had been away
in Australia for the last five years. She had returned because her uncle has just died. Even though she wasn't close to her
uncle, he had left her, an inheritance, a house in Sydney and also all his money in his Swiss bank account. I understand that
this amount is more than enough for her to live very comfortably for the rest of her life.
Whilst we were talking, D confided in me that she has always been attracted to me. She told me that she is still unattached
and intended to remain so until she hears news that I'm already married. She also told me that she had planned to contact
me, disclose her true feelings to me if I'm still single and had hoped that by some chance I may even consider going to Sydney
with her. She felt that the fact of us meeting so coincidentally was due to some kind of fate. Now, you can see the fix I'm
in.
My question, of course, is - should I fly SQ or Qantas?
