That's a very good questin since Cain claims that this woman was nothing more than a good friend. He should be a little more discriminating in the women he chooses to befriend.

She is not the woman she was back then. That is an important distinction to make. I have a lot of past acquaintances that I have not seen for decades. Of those I actually know the whereabouts of, some are very (VERY!) successful and others are complete losers. But “back in the day” we were peers.
