Quote1 ...I refused to believe you were real! I checked you out every way imaginable... I hired a detective to go through every facet of your background... But you passed every test! I've proven beyond any doubt-- You are exactly what you appear to be, Angela Blake-- The woman I was born to love! I've become a new man, Angela... All because of you! Quote2
