"He still couldn't believe she had let him live after he had had the audacity to kiss her - on the mouth, by God - not once, but twice! Just how far out of his mind had he been to pull that move?

She probably could have changed him into a toad as easily as sneeze as him." Circle of Time

I will not play "Memory", and I cannot be bothered to lie.
