" I promise Joan, with all my heart, to make you the happiest woman alive. I want to stop this moment in time and freeze it for eternity!

‘No I beg of you don’t!’ I put a finger to his lips,

‘I thank you for your sentiments and I know you mean what you say right now, but... make no promises please, for your promise makes you my prisoner and I your gaoler. "

― Carol M Mottershead , Joan: Put on a Happy face
