   Agreed. Yet some rascally readers repress the romance as they try to   
   twist the story into thirty-six year old Henry grooming six year old   
   Clare.   
       This perverted plot premise requires omission of how twenty year old   
   year old Clare initially stalks twenty-eight year Henry at Newberry   
   Library when the Catholic soulmates first meet.
