When she says she believes in the art of conversation, what she really means is that you listen while she practices her oratory skills.
I mean, I love her, I really do, but she has that slightly demented look in her eye and it’s 11pm already.

She kisses me ‘So you’ll sort it out?’
‘…course I will.’
Great title for the story.
Thanks!
Oh, the things that stay hidden in closets … .
Sorry – wrong story. But I did like this one, too.

Nice…subtle yet very clear…simple yet full of meaning. This is very good story-telling.
Thanks very much!
