> > All I have to say is, a long time ago, when you were down about something, I assumed there was a "she" involved, and you told me yes, but not in the way I thought. Well, I was closer than you cared to admit, wasn't I???? How are those words tasting now, crunchy-boy????? Never underestimate a woman's (particularly MY) intuition.

Actually, dear, at the time, it was not quite in the way you're thinking. We actually did have a very large fight about an only quasi-related issue... the trouble there was that she was my best friend and we were fighting. (crunchy-boy?)

> Oddly enough, Mousie, I had the same suspicion you did when Darien was talking to us about that. It seems like a friendship between members of the opposite sex that comes along suddenly, strong to the point where traumatic arguments have the potential of occurring, yet where the parties involved deny that it's anything but a close friendship, it inevitably turns into something more. Lest I sound like I'm giving Darien a hard time (I'm not -- he's getting enough teasing as it is :-) ), I think that's probably the best way to enter that kind of relationship.

I'll take it. :-} And thank you for not picking on me. ;-}
