Oh hey y'all! Since I last posted, all kinds of awesome things have happened, and not just ones I've watched on Dr Quinn (though that woman does more stuff than any one person should.) I went to England to visit Melissa and had the greatest of all possible trips. The town where she's studying, Canterbury, is precious and adorable and full of all

His latest epiphany was that the woman next to him in bed had been in this bed thirteen times before (and with him elsewhere five times) and, more importantly, he was not even remotely alarmed at her presence, which, in turn, alarmed him.
He didn't like to consider himself a cad- he thought he was more of a connoisseur. Most of the women he bedded were worth the effort, he felt, but very few merited more than that- especially when there was someone new to sample, someone different. And yet here was a woman he had slept with multiple times- and held conversations with.
She was, without question, a beauty. Even asleep, when some of the most elegant women relaxed into the squalor of repose, snoring or kicking or sleeping slack-jawed, she remained utterly lovely and composed. Her curls were slightly less perfect than they were during the daytime, but they were charming in their disarray, and she had one hand under her cheek.
Best of all, when she awoke, she didn't speak in cliches. She didn't bat her eyelashes and coyly ask about his dreams or night's rest, nor did she scurry off in mortification. Instead she woke up and said "good morning," like a civilized person. He liked that about her.
There were many things he liked- the way she rounded the syllables of his name, her ability to make ordinary things seem fresh and bright, her legs, her brilliant conversation, the way she had of cuddling that didn't seem oppressive but instead nice. If he's being honest, sometimes he likes that part best of all.
She opened her eyes then, arching her neck and looking up at him. "Good morning," she said, as always, and in a sudden rush of emotion he bent to kiss her.
