Mission implausible.
Well, it's a bit awkward now.
Because I was going to do The Little Prince, which is quite famously a love story between a little prince and a fox.
This fox is alive.
No, this book I read in university.
Not for university.
I just found it.
And obviously it's incredibly famous by Anton de Saint-Zupery.
And it is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.
And the line that just comes to me over and over again is when the fox says to the little prince after they've developed this bond, the prince is an alien from another planet.
You might understand if you've read my first book why I relate to it.
And the fox says, you know, no, no, you love me now and you are responsible forever for what you have tamed.
And I really, really, really love that sentiment because it implies an obligation on both parties, I think.
You can't just form, and I'm only just thinking about this now, you can't just form attachments that are deep and meaningful and then cut them loose.
She's like, she just told me I was four.
