Their eyes met across a crowded computer monitor. They smiled, shyly at first, then as their confidence grew they boldly started sending messages to each other. They had so much in common, similar backgrounds, both had children, both red wine lovers. Their humorous exchanges resonated with one another -oh how they laughed!
But then the laughter stopped and things suddenly got very serious. -What are we doing?- they wondered simultaneously (because by then, they had developed some sort of inexplicable psychic connection) -Where is this going?- The reality of their situation, which until now they had both subconsciously refused to acknowledge, suddenly dawned upon them. -This can’t go on, we live in different countries!”
But, like so many other Pink Sofa love stories, this couple did go on. When common sense dictates that it doesn’t make any sense to pursue a relationship with a woman on the other side of the world, a little thing gets in the way. The heart.
