Charming Man and Shadow Woman

Charming Man met Shadow Woman in a daydream, and took her to a Shang-ra-la she had but flirted with many moons ago. She met him inside a mystery and enjoyed him intensely and immensely – the feel, the smell, the delight. Romantic, handsome, and unbearably but secretly And discreetly wealthy, he took her in his arms. Their passionate, yet unconsummated love was immensely powerful as Shadow Woman fell under Charming Man’s spell. He had a family who loved her, revered her and encouraged her. They had introduced them after all. It was only her self-doubts and inner conflicts keeping them apart. She thought she was too flawed to ever be loved by the likes of him. Every night she reveled in her love and joy for her Charming Man Prince, ignoring world men who would never live up to his charisma or reverent adoration. An avid romantic, Shadow Woman never thought of seeking any other man, fearing disappointment. Her cats sighed at her abject loneliness. Every night, languishing in a cocoon of sheer love for their mistress who lovingly reached for the next novel and the newest Charming Man.

And I know some who are. One Novel man follows on the heels of the other.

I take this to mean that the woman is in love with a character in a romance novel... Brilliant (and sometimes very true-to-life, too)!

So true, sometimes she lives her whole life waiting, but he does not drag her off her bed or out of her house.
