I had no girlfriends either, or even any whores that I was particularly partial to. I'd never allowed anyone to get that close to me. I certainly didn...t have any fondness either for my far distant family!But I was narcissistic enough to think rather highly of myself, in the past ... but now at the moment, not so much so.

You know it." Charlotte grinned.Watching the movie, I had to admit she had a point. The movie had a lot of subtext that made sense if Maverick had been a woman.
