It didn’t matter that her wide blue eyes were narrowed or that her pretty mouth was twisted into a near snarl — she was blatantly beautiful.

there was a note in the frying pan
said Fix Your Own Supper Babe
I Run Off With The Fuller Brush Man

screamed & hollered & cried
I commenced to carring on

she used to Yell At Me
the way she used to Cuss & Moan

and get married again
I'll never leave my wife
at home

His declaration robs me of words. If it had come from Garrett’s lips, I would have thought it a bunch of bluster and flowery language, and I’d have smiled and nodded and not believed a bit of it. But every time Pelayo speaks, now especially, a sweet sort of earnestness pours from him.

I find that I believe every single thing he promises.

It’s incredible. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine anyone would say such a thing to me and mean it.”
― Elena Moore, Married to a Merman
