Emma Straub on what love actually demands. Being in love means wanting to be constantly near someone, and anything less than utter devotion won't work. She jokes about charging purchases to your partner.
What is love? Love is the most wonderful thing in the world. When you are in love with someone, you want to be near him all the time, except when you are out buying things and charging them to him. But what I really did take from the romance section is that there is utter devotion and nothing less than that will be tolerated.
