“The right moment.” She scoffs and I sense a little bit of pain in her voice.

“What is it?”

“That’s a statement I used to say to myself a lot before I met you. I always wanted to keep my virginity for my husband, the love of my life. That’s why I would always tell myself that it would be the right moment, but I’m stuck with you and you’ll be my first and last.””
