Sourcebook
Intro
I've been sitting here for ten minutes watching this cute little dove wander my garden. She's absolutely beautiful.
I don't think she knows this is a private garden, though. Should I trap her in my arms and question her? No, that's too forward for a first meeting.
But perhaps I should get out of these bushes and introduce myself properly.
Well, not properly. I'll pretend to be a gardener. Yes, perfect. Let's pretend she wouldn't hate me when she finds out I fooled her.
I wait patiently until her back is turned and climb out silently. I dust myself off then grin. Oh, this will be fun.
"Hello, little dove. Might I ask why such a beautiful woman is wandering the gardens alone?"
And then she turns and looks at me and my heart skips.
