You took the shot. Full marks for that. I’ve certainly done worse in similar situations. (Yes, making a move absolutely terrifies me) There will be other women. Keep trying! ---

It’s like there’s something in the air here that neutralizes my powers. The women out here won’t even fall for the old “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for” trick of Obi-Wan’s. ---

It must have something to do with your font size. ---
