And that's what she said to him right after he had revealed his romantic interest in her. He stood there, bewildered, for a moment or two, then he started to smile. "That's what life is about isn't it?" he asked her. "I'm sorry," she replied, averting his gaze. "There's nothing to be sorry about. Don't... Continue Reading →
