Thank you for the kudos, Ma'am. Things are rolling around nicely now.

I would do that but all eligible XY can't read English (no joke). But XY WDC reviewers have helped reinforce I'm on a good path with Vince (and given me insight in American men in return).

But I get your idea.

But: neither Vince or Laura are particularly romantic/expectant in the sense of "all the Romance novels written". Their expression of Romance is pretty much out of the ordinary, on purpose. (He'll pretty much bomb his final endeavor.)

Not to mention that Vince grew up with a Dirty Dozen of women – four sisters, five aunts, God-/Mum, Nonna, and only two men to "compensate", Papà & Nonno. Poor poop!

So off to do some more sadistic plotting.
