During your second meeting with Kirkland, you came up with the idea of living with him. The idea of stimulating your adrenal glands to secrete hormones and causing your heart to beat faster swept over you like a flood, instantly pushing you into romantic fantasies in your youth.
To this day, when I think about that innocent and childish impulse, most of it is the direct effect of hormones and pheromones.
Young people always regard a moment of dizziness and fever as love. A heart-thumping smile, a beautiful look back, a delicious face, superficial beautiful things are enough for them to be crazy about.
That day, Arthur was just walking towards you against the light, every strand of hair exuding charm, a rare British lip shape, flower-like color and perfect arc. The part that outlines the soul is his eyes, like a lake, a bright lamp, an everlasting flame in the palm of a god.
This man has innate charm and obvious handsomeness, so he becomes attracted to him, and his heartbeat is inevitable. The strong throbbing feeling makes you fall in love.
But once you strip away the sensibility inspired by temporary love, you will find that he just appeared in the right place at the right time.
Whether it is pigeons, green grass, or his windbreaker, they are all the reasons that beautify this moment. As for whether he is the most suitable candidate, this question starts to bother you now.
Appearance is a bonus in the early days of getting along. During the sweet and unreal days of your marriage, when you wake up in the morning and see his face with soft lines and the tip of his high nose that looks like a mountain peak in the morning mist, his whole person will make your heart melt.
Although he had already shown his stubbornness and occasional sarcasm at that time, he was a perfect treasure in your eyes. No one could refuse him in any different state, and you also showed your imperfect flaws.
Just like being close to a painting that was created with passion and a lot of emotion, one can eventually discover flaws and small imperfections that are nowhere to be hidden but are innocuous.
However, you can also solve any problem with a kiss or a passionate collision, everything is just trivial, they become a kind of flirtation, a being that can be loved.
But later, when the situation becomes not so easy to solve, when the problems become necessary, there must be a cause and effect.
There was constant chatter and bickering about those rainy mornings, a broken date or two, three or four stained dresses and an unexplained photo or two. Maybe his eyebrows weren't so cute and charming in the first place, and your mouth has gradually lost the unique charm given by him. Even the slightest fault seems to deserve to be cut into pieces.
"How the proud love happened in the first place and what it will become in the future, neither Mr. And Mrs. Kirkland can predict, but they are destined to be together to overcome it. After stumbling, they finally break through all the lights and shadows that are trying to end before them, and then they understand the true meaning of marriage and love."
