It would be easier to figure out how they always end up with a different partner if you weren't practicing with your cat.
7. You spend hours each day thinking about how you'd decorate your sprawling English manor.

20. And of being pursued by two equally gorgeous gentlemen.
21. This is your version of porn:
22. And the absolute height of romance is stiff and complicated confessions of love.
