The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
Well, since I’ve already poured my heart (and a questionable mix of ingredients) into this love potion, there’s no turning back! I’ll probably hold my breath, close my eyes, and imagine it’s a fine cup of tea from an English literature-themed café. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll pretend it’s just another academic paper—hard to swallow, but necessary for the greater good. Bottoms up!
