Sometimes that is a wonderful thing - it's asking someone to marry you by skywriting it at the beach. It's a surprise picnic under the moonlight. Maybe you try skydiving or birdwatching - things you never thought you'd do. It's beautiful, really.
And, sometimes, it's not.
Sometimes, your on-again/off-again girlfriend, upon being barred from entering your house, will try to shimmy down the chimney, get stuck there and die. And you being out of town and all, it will be a couple of days before the house sitter notices the smell.
Or, after 29 years of marriage, during a fight, you might beat your wife to death with a small statue, leave her body in the house for a few days, then drive it in an RV to a campsite to dispose of it. Then you would make excuses to the neighbors about where she is, and how you expect her home any time. And then, finally, botch a suicide attempt when the police close in.
And then, you might just decide to lie in the backseat of your ex-boyfriend's car so that you can stab him repeatedly with an ice pick. Not the soundest plan, perhaps, especially since you're still living together. But, still.
Yup, love sure makes you do crazy things.
