This will be a set of 7 drabbles, exactly 100 words each describing the relationship of Frank and Alice Longbottom. Each drabble has the theme of one of the lines of the song "7 Things I Hate About You" as inspiration. Please take the time to review and let me know what you think, it is very much appreciated :D
