cooking up yet another plot‚ realistically‚ I have seen this type of love (choking on my own vomit)…… flourish. Yes‚ I did say flourish. Not all people who love their partners eternally‚ perpetually and undyingly are murderers (Go figure). Finally agape‚ the altruistic love‚ the Romeo and Juliet love‚ the “Don’t let go” love of Jack and Rose.
