To fall in love with a stranger..
"For a split second they stared at each other. A fleeting, lasting moment. One person noticing another person out of a whole crowd of strangers." Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo
"I thought love was about caring about someone day in and day out, about being there when it's fucking amazing, and still wanting to be there when it feels like crap. I thought it was about forever."
- Will, Calling Romeo by Alexandra Potter
“But I want you to think on. Love’s precious. It doesn’t always happen twice, you know.”
Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo
I stopped reading Calling Romeo because first of all, it sucked. Second, because I don't like the flow of the story. Third, I just don't like it.
'I bought you some roses...' This time she had to smile, even though she tried not to. Because that was the thing about Will. He could upset her, annoy the hell out of her and make her question their relationship, but somehow he always knew how to break her mood--though it was him more often than not, that put her in the mood in the first place--and make her smile, laugh, love him again.
Calling Romeo
Busy, absorbed, daydreaming men and women, going about their everyday lives, suddenly catching the eye of the other busy, absorbed, daydreaming men or women. But most people never acknowledge the other person. They probably don't even notice, or if they do they look away feeling slightly embarrassed or awkward and pretend they haven't, speeding up their journey to avoid further contact. Or maybe they'll smile briefly, before carrying on to the office, the pub, their homes, their lives. And most people will probably never ever take it any further, or give each other another thought. Most. But not all.
Calling Romeo
For a split second, they stared at each other. A fleeting, lasting moment. One person noticing another person out of a whole crowd of strangers. It happens a million times a day in London. Glances between commuters as they pass each other on the Underground escalators, pedestrians exchanging looks as they walk in opposite directions on a crowded street.
