Who hasn’t been in love without feeling that love returned, only to wish that there was a way to make it happen? Roger feels that way about Leila, but she barely knows he exists – and she would probably rather he didn’t. So he visits Professor A. Daemon, purchases a love potion (just $1, guaranteed to work), and adds it to her champagne in a farewell drink.
Just a few moments later, she is putty in his hands, and he can only imagine what life would be without her. So he returns to the professor for some “glove cleaner” to rid himself of the love. The cost of this, alas, is a bit more ($1000), and the professor advises Roger to use it immediately or he will lose the strength to do it. Unfortunately Leila has a surprise – she has a baby on the way, and naturally Roger can’t do that to her, so it appears he has suffered the worst fate: He has had his wish come true.
