"Temptation comes to all of us. Whether or not we succumb depends on our ability to recognize its disguise. Sometimes it arrives in the form of an old flame, flickering back to life. Or a new friend who could end up being so much more. Or a young child who awakens feelings we didn't know we had. And so we give in to temptation, all the while knowing come morning, we'll have to suffer the consequences. " 
诱惑无处不在。我们是否臣服于诱惑，取决于我们能否看清诱惑的伪装面具。有时候它仿似旧日火花，重回生活中闪耀；或者是一个新朋友，对我们意义更深；或者一个新生儿，唤醒我们自己内心潜在的情愫。于是，我们都向诱惑妥协，尽管我们深知，翌日清晨我们必将承担后果。
