““ I will be very careful the next time I fall in love , she told herself. Also, she had made a promise to herself that she intended on keeping. She was never going to go out with another writer: no matter how charming, sensitive, inventive or fun they could be. They weren't worth it in the long run.

She wanted her next lover to be a broom.””
