2019-09-01. I've known women so in love with the idea of love--so desperate for a man's compliment, or a door opened for them; so famished for a kind word and affectionate smile, for the slightest act of chivalry--that they close their eyes to Prince Charming's obvious extreme poverty, and believe every imaginative story he tells to cover up the fact.
Not me, some of you say. I said that once too, and I am still paying for the love we shared--in monthly installments.
