That is how Melinda Morrison sees life.
The very life where she has shared nearly e...
The growth of one's self realizes the gravity of the ego.
"Is this necessary?"
"What is, your Highness?"
I cleared my throat and shifted uncomfortably as the two ladies in front of me—one, Lavania's mother, and the other a one-hundred and thirteen-year-old certified matchmaker idle thumbed through pages to what could only be described as a play-by-play sex book for newbies that were unfamiliar with the process. The book was quite thick; the words were in Köy which I knew vaguely how to read. I hadn't much time to learn with all my studies, but now as I continued standing before what would become my mother-in-law, I figured it'd be time to get serious about it.
As soon as I figured out what the fuck was going on here!
