late that night before. As I sat at the table I could hear Elly and James continue to talk and make fun of each other, and then I noticed the apartment got really quiet for no strange reason.

Her entire career has been a cacophony of pernicious foreplay that, if left unchecked, will consummate in her coronation election as president of the United States of America.
