I believe in love at first sight, But I also believe in evolution. Love at first sight is real love, but it’s an infant love. As love matures, we meet again and again, and discover new parts of our partners for the first time. I’d like to think that Rosalind and Orlando will cycle back to meet each other for the rest of their lives.

I like to quote Shakespeare. But in this case, the rapper Eminem said it best: Words are a motherfucker.
