The Temptress
“His face was grim. “I feel I must talk to you.”
“I am rather tired and I…” she began then stopped. When a man got it into his head that a woman needed lecturing, it was just better to let him get it out of his system.

“I don’t think you’re conducting yourself properly and I believe you’re losing your sense of proportion. I know you like to champion ...the underdog but sometimes the underdog isn’t deserving of a champion. I believe, Chris, you should know something about the man whose cause you are fighting.
