So I was being introduced to a friend of a friend. When we shook hands, I had this weird flash of a feeling, like he was the only real, living person in a world of paper cut outs. I don't have better words for it; it was just a jolt.

I thought "huh, that's weird" and brushed it off.

Six years later, we got married.

I couldn't tell you when I fell in love, or when I knew it, because it was all a gradual slow process, but have a weird story about emotional static electricity anyway.
