Florence thought for a moment. “I’ve always believed that romantic love has two parts,” Florence said. “There’s physical attraction. That can happen at first sight, obviously. But the second part, a real affection, can only be developed over time, after you’ve come to really know someone. I think that anyone who says they fell in love at first sight merely had their initial attraction substantiated later on by a deepening regard for the person as they got to know them.”
