And if, after he remembers, you tell him how terrified it made you feel, he'll apologize politely and make a point of avoiding you from then onward.s9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08326725206530909278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1159905843151375392006-10-03T13:04:00.000-07:002006-10-03T13:04:00.000-07:00Throw out the romance angle.
