He was the man to be her lover. ~Sabrina Jeffries

So in the weeks and months that followed, we undertook a series of difficult steps to prevent that outcome.

Mozart eliminates the idea of haste from life. His airs could not lag as they make their journey through the listener's attention; they are not the right shape for loitering.
