Yes, the woman." Cunco took a deep breath. "Women like her don't come along that often, you know. Maybe only every two hundred years. She everything a man could dream of.

Beautiful, clever, wise, considerate, passionate--absolutely everything. She was everything a man could want in a woman and I couldn't imagine life without her.
