Loved this: And during the vivisection he noticed for the very first time there was nothing there. He could see right through her. All the way to Toledo. Still the heart wants what it wants.

Jeff's one lucky man. As the Good Book says, "The heart is deceitful above all things" and Jeff shouldn't listen to his heart so much. Great story, Scott! I really enjoyed it!
