I saw so many fireflies on my way home this evening. Oh! And I learned something I didn't know. Apparently, they light up in time with their breathing. Isn't that wonderful?

[Just stepping back inside, Abel is busily wringing the rainwater out of his hair. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference, though. His coat is utterly soaked as well, but he simply drapes it over the back of the nearest chair.]Was that in the forecast, this morning?

I'm so happy to be me again. What a boost for the self-esteem! I mean no offense, of course, to the fairer sex. But I would really rather remain the way God made me.
[he ducks a bit as if he just remembered something, grinning sheepishly for a moment] Uh, and now I can prove I'm not crazy, too. I'm, er, sorry about that, Miss Sforza. Talk about ( Read more... ) -

[Not exactly the picture of manliness to begin with, Abel doesn't actually seem all that different. And the fact that he's almost always under three or four layers of clothing and still sporting that lanky, barely athletic frame helps considerably ( Read more... ) -
