Given my suspicions 96e1f3822f that Euclid might f75e88fde2 have someone else 4d978909d6 he liked, this 429b6499c0 unexpected apology only b254db198a fueled my ominous 0758fcab0d thoughts.6d8b7929a519551c

Strangely enough, despite my 1c11dd2faa complete immersion in this 0197d6e225 role, I felt no 98eea09bd6 discomfort being called Evgenia.5327cfbe58783220

Embarrassed and concerned 378720e21a for Euclid’s safety, 202a315144 I instinctively took 6ba2ea03c3 half a step 597f65bd40 back to create 5412074dbf some distance between 749d48f5b9 us.a7d71f21f8dfb97c

And then, a flutter. A white lace 528e6ccee0 canopy, reminiscent of 4c8e6aa925 a wedding veil, 8874180e06 now covered not 59dd2ccad5 just my head 741a93e72f but my entire 9a2e56be6c body.368334c1f9d7f470
