It's that kind of romantic tension that keeps people interested in a story, Amos....but the key is to never quite open Pandora's box (so to speak) in order to maintain the tension. Remember when they broke that rule on the show "Cheers"? Big mistake.

I have always suspected that Penelope may have a pretty lively sex life going on behind the scenes, but............my lips are sealed. Besides, "gentlemen don't talk".
