And he’s just made one of my fantasies come true – climbing the trellis at night to come to me.

“After all this time, a fantasy come true. In my fantasies, I was always in bed. You’d come in and ravish me.”

“That’s gonna happen as soon as this song is over.”

“You remembered that it was this song?” I ask.

He shakes his head. “Sadly, no. I asked Cicely.”

“You’re welcome,” he quips.
