Romance

Why do I find romance so interesting? At the very end of an email, a friend who has moved to a new city tossed in the phrase, ‘ Lots of romantic dramas at this end.' As soon as I read it, my curiosity was ignited. I don't know any of her friends, I've never even seen pictures, and yet I'm mad keen to know more, to hear all the complicated twists and turns, the who, what, wheres. It's not rational to want to clutter up my mind this way, but I think it is precisely that - the irrationality of romance - that fascinates me so.
