#12: Love for Books
In a Twitter thread, a user named Kitty expressed her disappointment with the lack of romance in modern-day love stories. She cited her grandparents’ love story as an example of the kind of love story that seems to be missing in our current times. According to Kitty, her grandparents, who both served in the Royal Merchant Navy, met on board the ship, and her grandpa was immediately smitten with her grandma’s charming looks while she was earning socks.
However, Kitty revealed a surprising twist in her grandparents’ love story. Her grandpa was already engaged to someone else when he fell in love with her grandma. This raises questions about his character, such as whether he ghosted his fiance or if he should have broken up with her in a more conventional way. The story is both intriguing and troubling, leaving Kitty with a sense of nostalgia for a time when love seemed more pure and romantic.
