Meh. Some of us are not pretending.
And can I say how much more interesting is a violent man than a stupid woman? He can always have a redemptive, heroic moment. She will just stand there gaping idiotically, trilling, I think I broke a heel!

She broke it when she whapped him upside the head with it. Shoulda known. Stiletto, too.
