-i think you and Carolyn are wise to get to know each other well,
before tying the knot and walking down the aisle.

-well... that's not the whole story.
a week later,
he came to my apartment and begged me to get back together with him.
i told him i would go out with him again if he promised to be faithful to me.
we made up, and things went well for a few weeks.
