Welcome to my fantasy story based on my admiration for Colin Firth.  Please be aware that the story, while dallying in romantic encounters is not sexually explicit.  However some parts do leave one's imagination open to play. All names of characters in this story are living persons used with their permission excepting The Firths and Amanda Bynes who is mentioned only.  The Fan Club, videos and photos are non existent and were designed for the story only. All of the places visited, toured or stayed at are real and exist. Thank You. (and I have a tattoo, but it's different than in the story) I do not have one of his shirts or his address, nor have I ever had an email.)  Thank You.
