The current romances offer a comical view on many occasions. Cupid must walk like crazy in the vital maelstrom of so many elusive humans with their arrows.
It is the price of modernity. And it is the magic of love. Because sometimes Cupid's lost arrows end up piercing the most unsuspected heart, linking two souls whose destinies, in principle, would not even have to touch.
Of course, circumstances are strangely auspicious at times. Because the characters that he presents to us Beth O'Leary: Tiffy and Leon, overcome the difficulties of living together without even knowing each other. Sharing an apartment of minimal size between two strangers can seem at least uncomfortable if not absolutely risky.
But if both lead opposing lifestyles, with inverse rhythms in breaks and work hours, the issue may appear as a solution for the meager income of two lost souls in the city.
The perfect plan. When one leaves the other enters. Moments after Tiffy leaves the bed to rush out to his routine, the other occupies it exhausted after an endless night.
But there are certain sayings that suggest that two who sleep on the same mattress ...
It is good that they do not share vital moments beyond the notes of rigor to keep the shared space in order. But deep down, they share the dreams that float in the bedroom, dreams that may be conspiring strangely, devising a plan so that their physical encounter comes to pass with guarantees of success.
Only then can it be understood that despite everything, Tiffy and Leon may have an opportunity. Any risky idea can lead to surprises. Even more so for two peculiar characters like the inhabitants of this small apartment.
Because the pandemonium of their existence, with the bizarre plethora of supporting actors, ends up forcibly bringing them together with that magnetism that always favors those who risk.
Because more than in any other field, in love, he who does not risk loses everything, even the best that he could have met by chance.
