    And you hardly feel a thing...

  • A young man in a grey sweater looks concernedly over a distraught looking young woman sitting on a blue chaise facing away from him wearing a peach 1900s style dress, a look of distress across her face that she's failing to hide from the man.

    I'm not unhappy!
