Every woman carries a grenade inside her and just needs the right man to pull the pin!
How easy is it to put a leash on a wolf? That depends on who's holding the leash!
Natural law says the wolf eats the sheep, but what happens when the wolf falls...
Sebastian: Lois, listen to me very carefully. You can't fall in love with me...
Lois: I can't be sure yet, since I have never felt anything like this, but maybe it's too late for that.
Sebastian hangs his head forward and covers his eyes with his hand.

Sebastian: I was afraid of that. Damn it!
I can't see his face, but I'm sure it's filled with despair. It shows in his shoulders as well. They are bent forward, giving him a sort of hunched appearance, as if someone is giving him a heavy burden he can't bear. And that someone is me. The stupid woman who fell in love with him and now he doesn't know how to get rid of her.
I can't do that to him. He's been really good to me. In the few hours I have spent with him, he's awakened feelings in me that I didn't even know existed. He's awakened things in me that I didn't even know I had. I have to help him - free him from the burden - free him from me.
Come on, Lois. You are a great actress. You can do this. You have been doing it all your life. You have been duped so many times. One more time - what can it hurt?
With a big smile, I walk towards him. I stand right in front of him and pull his hand out of his eyes. He keeps his eyelids closed. He can't even look at me. But why? Why so suddenly? Am I really that repulsive? Whatever! It doesn't matter. It's better if he doesn't look at me. Then it's easier for me to say what I need to say.
Lois: Don't worry about it, Sebastian. Whatever happens to me, no matter how I feel, it's none of your business. I won't force myself on you. I'm not going to crowd you. I won't beg you to take me with you. We will have fun while we are here, and then we'll go our separate ways peacefully. I told you my story because I needed to tell someone, not to force you to help me. I showed you my wounds because I just felt safe with you, not to force you to heal them. You've nothing to fear from me. I'm just a stupid sheep, not a bloodsucker.
If I had an audience right now, I'm sure they'd give me a standing ovation. It was the best performance of my life. I laughed and recited my lines while crying on the inside, begging God to make Sebastian change his mind. But who am I kidding? I have no hope. Sebastian would never fall in love with me. That's why I won't even try. It would be in vain.
When I was a little girl, I believed in God and His miracles. When I grew up, I didn't stop believing in God - He was my last resort, after all - but I did stop waiting for a miracle. I realized in a very hard way that miracles just don't happen and resigned myself to my miserable life.
But today, on this blessed day, my world was once again turned upside down. Only this time, everything was in the right place and I found my home - my sanctuary - in his arms.
When I finished my monologue, Sebastian finally opened his eyes. I didn't want to look at him because I was afraid. I was afraid that if I looked into his eyes, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from falling at his feet and begging him to love me. So, I looked away - or at least I tried to.
