"You got a lot of ladies to get through. Youâ€™re still young. First loveâ€™s the sweetest, but it doesnâ€™t last.â€ â€œNot ever?â€ I ask. Grandad looks at me with a seriousness he reserves for moments when he wants me to really pay attention. â€œWhen we fall that first time, weâ€™re not really in love with the girl. Weâ€™re in love with being in love. Weâ€™ve got no idea what sheâ€™s really aboutâ€”or what sheâ€™s capable of. Weâ€™re in love with our idea of her and of who we become around her. Weâ€™re idiots."
