““And love seemed now such a tortuous path, such an unknown territory. Navigating the arterial pathways of the heart. And even how it sounded. Falling in love. Surely that said everything that needed to be said. Like a headlong pitch forward into the hereafter. Why not rising into love? Hey, you'd never guess what happened? I rose into love . . . and man. was that a feeling. A feeling like no other.””
