RE: Wet Carpet

This is why "Spoilers" never bother me - we all know Romeo and Juliet are gonna die. It's the HOW that kills us every time we read it. Each decision made has consequences, and each event that coincides with it magnifies and compounds the consequences. It's why millions of women continue to buy romances - making women readers and romances the #1 share of book sales (last I read, anyway). We are guaranteed the happy ending, the ill-fated couple finally getting together at last. It's the HOW they get there that sells the books. And sometimes Nicholas Sparks kills off his hero/heroine and still sells millions, but I have no explanation for that. (I never did like any of his novels or movies.) Thank you @sidequest for reassuring me that the "black sheep" of the golden-egg mafia family will find her day in the sun. :)
