Dear Santa, If I could make one wish this Christmas, it would be for a daddy with a big enough heart for two.

We need a daddy who can help us let go and relax. Lastly, but probably most importantly, we need a Daddy who can meet both our needs. I don’t have many boundaries as long as I can trust my Daddy, and I’m open to trying new things.

The blinders are off, and the world is nothing like I thought it was. Nate, Gabriel and Brooks fought to keep me in the dark for my own protection. Frank may have won that battle, but I’m going to win the war.

When my mother approached me on my 33rd birthday with a brochure for egg freezing, it was a glaring reminder that my biological clock is ticking toward its expiration date. That's why when I decided to take my mother's advice, Christian came up with his own plan: Let's have a baby together. It's a bad idea. A really, really bad idea. And yet...I can't stop thinking about how great it could be. There's just one condition. Before we have sex (oh, yes, we're doing this the old-fashioned way!), Christian is adamant we go on three dates. Sounds easy, but it's not.

Les nouvelles du recueil racontent le temps où, petite fille, elle goûtait "la condition d'être une enfant de son village et d'avoir une mère au rire aigu de jeune fille".

Au tournant du XXe siècle, on laisse de plus en plus à la jeune fille la liberté de choisir son mari ; une place est faite à ses préférences et plus encore à ses inclinations : on lui permet d'aimer, quitte à contredire les us et coutumes qui mettent l'amour après le mariage - la femme n'attend plus d'être mariée, d'avoir acquis une identité sociale par sa dot, pour éprouver des sentiments. D'où l'insistance de "Gigi" : être aimée comme elle aime ; échapper au conventionnel d'une vie mondaine où elle sera traitée en conquête de l'homme, faire-valoir négligeable de la masculinité qui l'entretient.
