One of the best pieces of advice I've gotten about women came from a notorious rake. Why was I hanging around with him? Much less twitchy company than the usual crew of thugs and assassins you find in the underworld.
You'd have thought growing up with two older sisters, they'd have given me advice, but nope. They don't tell ya squat. Anyway, his point was this. "Any woman you're with is the most beautiful woman in the room."
Being young and stupid, I asked "Well, what if she's not?"
"Ah," he said, "That's the trick."
...
"Nice cop-out," Erin said.
