Just because I don't deserve her doesn't mean I won't fight to keep her.
Eating a cookie never feels strange. I am a big believer in food in general.
I'm naturally thin, so I don't have to work too hard at it. I love food, but I also love to work out. I think it makes everything work better.

I dropped my voice and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was trying hard not to look away. I was so furious I could have cheerfully ripped her head off.

It was all I could do to not give a MWA HA HA!
