She grabbed my face and told me how cute I was and when security tried to whisk her away she grabbed my hand and took me with her to her limo. I didn't want to leave her. She was such a nice lady. She signed my program and kissed me goodbye. I was never the same. I had the biggest crush on her after that. I blush still thinking about it.
