One summer, at a party in Connecticut, Hermione meets George. The symptoms are classic- her knees tremble, her heart beats faster and she fantasizes about everything: sex, decorating his apartment, then moving in together. Over the next few weeks they often meet for lunch (he allots one hour), he walks her to her apartment (but never into her bedroom), she meets his friends (he doesn't ask about hers). Yet she still waits for the phone to ring every morning. She realizes she hasn't felt this much attraction in maybe ten years. But why won't he kiss her?
