You don’t know exactly when you fall in love with someone, do you? There isn’t that sudden moment when the music stops and you look into one another’s eyes for the first time, or whatever. Well, maybe it’s like that for some people, but not me. I had a friend who told me she fell for a boy when she woke up in the morning and realised he didn’t snore. It doesn’t sound much, does it? Except it sounds true.

I suppose you look back and select one particular moment out of several and then stick to it.
