lol, I guess thats just to add to all the drama. In my writing, I never have romance. Not that I disagree with it in books, well to a certain extent, I just don't have a dramatic/romantic mind. My mom says I'm more of a logic girl.
My sis, not Luthien, really does though.

It is a little cliche, but it's supposedly a great emotional tactic!  Besides thinking that's it's a bit cheesy, I can't say scenes like that really get my attention.
I AM a hopeless romantic though!  Wings is more the logical one. If anyone has ever seen Sense and Sensibility, I am a lot like Marianne, and Wings would definitely be an Elinor!

lol, I have seen Sense and Sensability (my mom and sisters like it), and its a bit too dramatic for my tastes. But then again, it is a drama.
And the love scenes aren't my favorite either...too predictable.

Probably the reason the characters always express love when one of them is dying is because they realize that they have to say it now or never.

That must be it.
It is a nice touch.

You're probably right, alizona. Still, if you do the same love storyline too much, it can get a little redundant.
MaidenforChrist, I love watching Sense and Sensibility. In fact I'm trying to read the book right now. The problem is I usually read more than one book at a time, and right now I'm reading about three or four!

That's the only time I cried too Daisy!!
