Shelley had tried to bail, but I understood why. She had self-preservation down to a tee and she was a hard nut to crack, but I enjoyed getting her to open up. The sweetest things are always hardest to work for, and I loved a challenge. Besides, she was the only woman I wanted, and that was something that had never happened to me before. I never thought I’d be a one-woman man, but even the thought of talking to another girl made me nauseous. I guess Adam and Devon were right; when the one finally comes along, you know.
