Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree. ↗

I always had a penchant for falling in love. Every time I found myself without a mate, I fell into a state of low-sizzling panic. ↗
