IDLE TALK
Love is the most captivating emotion. What, does that sound strange? Love makes people grow. It makes them jealous and can even destroy them. It's something I've never experienced, but... If this feeling I have for you is considered love... Then I supposed you're my first love.
...
That was embarrassing. Let's change subjects. In the book First Love...
Oh, First Love is a novella by Turgenev. It's about a boy who falls in love with the daughter of a duke. Zinaida is a mysterious and free spirit... Who trifles with the heart of the younger protagonist. She seems so close and yet so far away. Men are puzzled by her simultaneous seduction and rejection. To fall in love for the first time with someone like Zinaida would surely be worth remembering. I don't act so capricious as all that.
...
Do I?
You should read it if you haven't yet. I'm quite convinced you'll enjoy it.
