Warnings: none
Author's Notes: There’ve been a lot of drawings of Mike Stamford as Cupid. Sorry.
I have small understanding of chemistry, and slightly greater knowledge of the body. I cannot tell a man’s living by looking at his hands. I carry neither gun nor bow, nor any other weapon.
I understand the chemistry of the human heart. I know the anatomy of a lonely soul. They clasp hands, and I know my aim was true.
(I had a lot of fun with what I've written for week 2, so I thought I'd try for week 1, also. Hope it's okay to be this late to the party.)

I'm so glad you're joining in - I look forward to seeing what you've come up with for week 2 ^^
