That's the literal translation of "love at first sight" in French. I like when these things happen, things that translate into something completely different that captures the same idea so perfectly. Not that I've ever experienced love at first sight or anything. But don't we imagine it as something that is so instant and powerful that it causes you to feel as though you already know the person you've supposedly fallen in love with? I'm not a romantic, and I don't really believe that it is love that happens at first sight, but it's nice to think about that. It kind of goes along with the whole idea that we each have a soul mate, someone we were destined to be with since the day we were born. Soul mate in French is literally soul sister. Just saying.
Things are going to start changing soon. The thought has been buzzing behind my eyes for the past couple of weeks now, lurking behind the normal. It's like Chronicle of a Death Foretold; I know that Santiago Nasar dies from the very beginning, but I don't know how or why, or what happens in between.
