"Well, we had a bad experience early on, when one of Erica's dates met me, and then he dumped her right on the spot! Trying to understand the power I have over guys was part of the reason I went into psychology. I wanted to understand why Erica didn't have the same effect on boys as I do."
"Anyway, that was the reason Erica insisted that I keep away from all the men in her life. The wedding was the first exception to that rule, and the last."
