I just can't get it off my mind.

Jane, I'm very upset about something. Can I talk with you? I'd like your opinion.

What is it about? Oh, is it about Ed?

Yeah, sort of....

So, what's up?

What do you think of Ed, Jane?

What do I think of him? You know him better than I do, don't you?

Please, don't tease me.

Well, remember the other day when you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration?

Uh-hunh...

And remember you said that he really makes you happy?

Yeah. (Heave a sigh) Ed is indeed a gentleman. He has wonderful manners and is respectful of me. But I'm really bothered by his past!

His past!? Was he an ex-con or something?

No, no, no. That's not what I mean. He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very much. He almost married her if it were not for an accident.

Oh, I see. But why are you so bothered? That's already a history, isn't it?

I know. But I just can't get it off my mind.

Come on, Mary. You're just being a little jealous, but that's just fine. You know, when you love him, you've got to love his past, his everything.... You've got to love him as a whole.
