Lelani and I are so good at looking aloof in our bridesmaid gowns. Damn, we should be models!

Hello. My name is Doctor Viggo FeelGood. I'm a pediatric cardiologist. I'm in love with Lelani.
She is so aloof and yet so alluring...I would like to marry her. I would give her all my money and she could feel free to stay in her own house...
I think other Doctors should love/want to marry her as well...We should start a support group. We could discuss how much we love her and start a pension fund for her so that she may never have to work again.
Well, I've got to go. Emergency at the hospital whathaveyou. They require my expertise STAT.
(STAT is Doctor lingo for "like, now, please"--I know this being as I am a Doctor...)
