It’s funny to hear priests and nuns argue with each other.

There's nothing like a headstrong woman to make you happy to be alive.

I fell asleep that night thinking about the kiss that might have been. What did a kiss feel like, anyway? Somehow I knew it wouldn’t be like the one I got from Mom or Dad at bedtime. The same species, maybe, but a radically different beast, to be sure. Like a wolf and a whippet – only science would put them on the same tree.

Was it so much to ask just to be left alone?
