"How often do you do this?" Grace asked, feeling so relaxed.

"As often as I feel romantic?"

"That is strange! I was beginning to nurture the idea that you are some super human who has no need for the company of the opposite sex, not to talk of getting romantic."

"Now I know you are truly romantic." "Today, the moon is full, I have brought you out here to say to the God of the moon, the stars and the universe, she is here, you've sought her out and crossed our paths."

"You can simply put it that way."
