Author's Note: This is NOT the kind of Part 2 that is designed to stand alone. You will be very lost without having read Part 1. I had an outline of things I wanted to describe in Part 2, as well as some general guidelines for how I want the next sections to unfold.

(Of all the true stories, sweet romances, diaries, manuscripts or documented words of love and passion I have ever written, this is my favorite of all time. Read it and you'll know why. It's just so darn touching. You just know some women are going to make perfect loving wives. But if you're a man, the trick is to find one for yourself.) The early morning...
