#21 – Life
It was funny how the union of two people could create a new life; Ororo sings to her belly, but the others think she sings to herself; she wasn't quite ready to share her joy; at least, not until Logan returned.

#22 – Jealousy
Another lie, Ororo knew one when she heard it; he'd been with her again, but he wouldn't admit it; she didn't know why he'd think that she would fall for such stupid excuses; he treats her like he was the first man she's ever been with; he didn't want to play these games with her; because, by the goddess, if he wanted to play dirty, she would win; jealousy wasn't her best facet.

#23 – Hands
She liked to look at his hands, especially when he unsheathed his claws; she believed his hands told a story, the play that Shakespeare never got to pen.

#24 – Taste
She doesn't like the taste of beer, finding the flavor disgusting; the devil's brew was an appropriate name for it; but crème liqueur—that tasted a bit better, especially when she licked it off his lips.

#25 – Devotion
Devotion was synonymous with fidelity; fidelity was an act of faithfulness, a lesson that required participation by both parties.

Author's Notes: #22 will definitely be explored more, probably in a small ficlet set in comicverse. I plan to couple it with the earlier sentence regarding Ororo's deception. ;)
