Compromise Creep

It's necessary. Not sure it makes the world go round, but it certainly takes the edge off.

"You adore him."

The rosy-cheeked brunette just couldn't find the words to describe her love. Which certainly is magical. But tossing out everything you've ever known -- and replacing it with someone else's convictions -- just seems plain wrong.
