By Stephanie K. Hopkins
The body knows when it’s fallen in love.
When you see the girl across the room and you can’t speak.
When the dog looks at you from behind the cage and your knees weaken.
When you walk into the house and your whole body lights up, as if momentarily set on fire.
When you find yourself wanting to be worthy.
These are the ones. Grab them.
