Love is stronger than the cost of petrol
When I was 19, I bounced my forehead off a lorry in a spectacular ice-storm pileup. When I was finally released from hospital, I had a plastic and metal neck brace that engulfed most of my torso and head. The final tally was a cervical fracture and a big dent in my cranium.

I also had a boyfriend with a car. The loving gentleman he was, he charged me petrol ‘and waiting’ (like interest) to drive me to and from physical therapy / rehabilitation 8 miles away.

To be fair
He wasn't even a decent bloke when I was up to my tits in Vicodin and Atavan. You know it is bad when you can still manage to hate somebody, even though you hardly remember what 'blue' is.

Hi, Christopher Peterson, for that was his name.
