I cannot be with someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on me, someone who can't love me

I'm looking forward to getting back to my house and my Ugg boots and not washing sometimes, and getting back to writing.

My inner goddes has her sequins on and is warming up to dance the rumba.

Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.

Women basically want the same thing - a good passionate story, a great fantasy - and for our partners to do the laundry and the washing up.

So you've just slept with him, given him your virginity, a man who doesn't love you. In fact, he has odd ideas about you, wants to make you some sort of kinky sex slave.

If you've been married for 400 years, as I have, it's nice to experience first love again and you can vicariously through a book.
