He’s well-educated, polite, kind and immediately puts her at ease. What’s more, he’s very, very cute.

Sometimes it’s impossible to tell because the two are separated by the finest of fine lines. So fine as to be imperceptible. Sometimes, evil is within us. Other times, it’s in those to whom we are closest.
