Beginning of a story

“People have a tendency to over dramatize their feelings. I, personally, do not believe in fairy-tale love. It is quite possible to have feelings for someone and not love them at all and equally to love someone and not have feelings for them. There are so many factors to consider, I find it preposterous that people even entertain such a Victorian concept as ‘true love’ or anything similar. Everyone is replaceable. That’s just fact. Logic. And to try to deny it is plain ignorance.”

Her words resonated through his mind and stung his ego. He would later confront her, asking “am I replaceable?” to which she would blankly and immediately reply “yes.” But for now, he only wondered about it. About her. What was she talking about, everyone’s replaceable? Then what is chemistry? If everyone were replaceable, there would be no heartbreak between lovers, because people would simply replace each other and move on instantly. And that doesn’t happen. People are always moaning about having their hearts broken and not being able to move on. He had met countless examples of such people all over the world during his travels. A lot of what she said didn’t make sense to him and really, he should be completely disinterested, but the truth was the opposite. He was wildly intrigued by her; she became like a flame to him and in the end, he would only end up hurt.
