What lovely comments! I grew up in the subburbs, then lived in big cities, and eventually a really small town. I'm in a moderate metropolis now, but I think I'll end up in a tiny town again eventually. There is something to be said for the quieter way of life.
Hugs to you, Nancy. I prefer betas with alpha moments. A sensitive charmer is hard to resist, especially when he suddenly turns out surly and protective.
