Nope. Can't do it. Why?

Our relationship is purely sexual,

from all of our robust sexing.

Yours is like new.

Still so plush and fluffy.

Thank you. So now that our liaisons

are out in the open,

Edward and I are to one another.

Are we courting? Am I his boo?

Either way, I'd like to get him a token of my admiration.
