Sabrina So...Kay at one time wanted to date Julia. But Julia wasn't interested. So Kay met and fell in love with Helen. Kay adores Helen! She does everything to make Helen happy. She even went so far as to purchase luxury items (silk pjs, jam, coffee and an orange) on the black market (World War II) for Helen. But Helen is not all together comfortable with her relationship with Kay either in public or behind closed doors. They like every couple have issues. Issues that Kay is more than willing to work through. So what does Helen do? She starts meeting Julia (they met by accident….or did they) in public places for coffee, late night walks and exploring abandoned buildings. Way to go Helen! And then guess what? Julia and Helen eventually fall and love and start a relationship. Now guess who is unhappy? Everybody!
