“Love is delicate”
she warned her jaded boyfriend.
He laughed in her face

    This was so sad to me. Aptly so, but still. I was reading a book the other day that had the phrase "Love is a contact sport of the heart and each time we come away a little more bruised than the last time." This reminds me of it.
