Daren, that day at Helen's, the minute I saw you I knew you were going to have something to do with my future." "Bessy, a little while ago I made sure you had no romance in you," replied Lane, with a smile.

"Now as we've gotten serious, let's think hard about the future.

Do you just want to go from day to day, like a butterfly from flower to flower?
