So, GFI:

Even if a passionate advance is met with hostility... Could it be of value here? Could it be penetrating in a good way on some level?

If a WAW has been yearning, stewing, empty for years, and then sees a glimmer of what passion could be realized... Could it help?

I'm not talking about sex here. I'm talking about Smiley opening the floodgates of pride and really showing her how much he loves her through words and through his eyes.

Sorry - It's easy for me to go back to wanting the opera.
