‘Have you ever been in love?’
 
Yes.
 
‘What’s it feel like?’
 
It feels like seeing the world for the very first time. Like feeling the sun on your face, or the rain on your skin. Like smiling all the time, even when you don’t want to, but you can’t help it, and you don’t know why.
 
‘Why are you crying?’
 
Because sometimes, love can be scary. It’s like spinning, around and around, and getting so dizzy that you fall over. And when you fall, you can get hurt.
 
‘But it’s worth it, isn’t it? You get hurt, but it’s worth the fun of spinning around?’
 
And that was one question she couldn’t answer, not even silently. Because she still hadn’t decided what was worse – getting a cruel taste of paradise, or not knowing any better.
