This is what I was thinking -- it's more like saying "my loved one" or "the one I love" as opposed to "my bedmate," but then I got carried away thinking about what Olivia might assume anyway... *g* Wonderful quote! It captures such a world of pain in such a tiny number of words. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Oleander 's message, "I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that to historically, one would refer to their other as a lover- in the same sense that historically, the phrase "to make love to" meant to woo or court. I think that the frank and/or sexual implication of the word as we use it now is a by product of the sexual revolution." on 15:28:20 10/28/07 Sun

The gift of Diana- capturing so much with so little. I do also like to imagine what Olivia thinks of John as a result of his revelation, and what meaning she takes from the simplicity of his words. (NT) -- Oleander, 20:17:41 10/28/07 Sun
