Shelia sells seashells by the seashore. She skillfully scoops shells with great delight. Swiftly she slides, slipping on sand, sending shells soaring skyward. Silliness ensues as shells shimmer and scatter, sharing smiles and sly winks. Shelia, the sensational shell seller, laughs loudly and keeps collecting, endlessly enchanting everyone she encounters.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
