Fixed to Ruin

     New Character: Saint Simon. 23. Intelligent, compassionate, attentive, dependable, responsible. Faithful. Reliable, sincere, polite, chivalrous, respectful.  Consistent.  Appreciative, understanding. Goes out of his way to accommodate me. Looks into my eyes when I speak, or he speaks to me.  Remembers little things I say I like.
     Why am I completely incapable of emotional reciprocation?


     I couldn't look myself in the mirror if I broke his heart.  Okay, I could, but I might wince a little at my reflection.  What's the polite way to say "I'm flattered, but darling, I'd eat you alive?"
