I had feared that love would make me vulnerable. Instead I felt empowered.
Well, spit on my empty grave – if it ain’t the attack of the Disney princesses!
I have to warn you that my bedroom isn’t the best place to stage an assault on me. It’s where I’m at my weakest, with my bed a mere twenty feet away.
Stop flaunting your impeccable language skills, Vincent, help the girl to her feet and let her take her leave.
We’re all lost souls here. It’s a good thing we’ve got each other.
Thank you for being here, my beauty. Mon ange. My Kate. Your utterly, Vincent.
He leaned forward and opened his door, politely standing aside to let me by before following me in. There are some advantages to dating a guy from another era, I thought. Though I am a big believer in gender equality, chivalry scores high in my book.
