Love Heart Emoji Eyes and the Optimum Dose of Caffeine

We start with Inger's aborted holiday in a cottage in the country
when Thesis Whisperer Jnr and Mr Thesis Whisperer had to be

decided being a SEAL was not for her (a pity, because Inger would
have totally loved a 'gender flipped' Navy SEAL romance). This
fact does mean, however, that Inger is still correct about the
peer reviewed advice about the exac
