Temptation

Sylvan has been coming in to the office with very dreamy eyes lately. As though she got some the night before...

And a couple of days ago, during our breakfast together, she had this faraway look in her eyes and she suddenly giggled for nothing. As though she was remembering a pleasant memory or her own little private joke.

It turned out that she had been reading Midnight Sun and was once again reunited with her fictional boyfriend, Edward Cullen. No wonder she was happy...

At first, I tsk-tsk-ed her for reading an illegal copy of the book. Apparently, she had tracked down the scanned version of the book off the Internet. How resourceful!

But then, I dismounted from my high horse and *gasp* asked her to forward it to me! So now, I have a copy of it downloaded on my desktop.

I read one chapter and felt so guilty...it doesn't seem fair to the author. Oh, but then, the temptation to read Edward's side of the story is too great...

For now, let it just sit on my desktop for a while longer, and burn in my head. I shall try to distract myself with some other book (that could never be as compelling as Midnight Sun)...oh but I shall try...
