No one's ever looked at me the way he looks at me. I feel a silent rumble in my gut and I know something's just changed in me forever.

If someone is divorced, in my book that's not a reason to write him off. No, I like to write men off for concrete flaws like yawning weird or holding a fork the wrong way or saying "porridge." But the fact is I don't want to date a man with kids at this stage in my life. I like children fine, and I'm sure I'll love my own someday. But they add a layer of complication to a relationship that I'd just rather not deal with.

There's those kinds of love and then there's the other kind. The falling kind.
