The first time you buy a house you think how pretty it is and sign the check. The second time you look to see if the basement has termites. It's the same with men.

— Lupe Velez

Forgive me, too.  I see no other way.
Perception failed me, causing this delay.
Harald, you faked a great love for him and me.
Exhausted by our passion, which deceived,
Loving consent marked me as easy prey.
