Quote: Well I take that back. There was one book and he read the steamy part, ML to me that night and then refused to read anymore of it.
See, perhaps he's got it in him after all W skips the steamy parts in books and averts her eyes for the steamy scenes in movies (she also frequently covers my eyes at those times, including every single victoria's secret commercial...which I find mildly amusing and annoying). I'd be dishonest if I said the thought of giving her the clockwork orange treatment (where they pin the eyes open) hadn't crossed my mind on a few occasions.
Regarding MrHP, yeah, maybe he was just irritated you weren't there. It does seem odd to me though that he consistently laments that you should have ML the following day.
