    “You have a vote. You can pick three and I will take it from there.”
    “I love a woman who can compromise.”
    “And I love a man who has enough sense to find a treatment for a woman who would puke on his shoes. Come on. Thank you, Medic Tro.”

Author’s Note
     
     
    Hooray, the end of the Os. Next round, we are working on the Ps, and the women involved are all undergoing changes. Big changes.

    Thanks for reading,
