14. 結束語Mary Alice Voiceover: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.
