"Honestly, that entire idea seems preposterous to me. I may be a hopeless romantic at heart but sometimes...you have to be logical. Love at first sight is nothing more than a Hollywood fantasy." Rachel says before she sips her coffee and sits at the table across from her best friend Kurt. Kurt loosens the brown knit scarf around his neck as he continues their conversation.
"I can't believe Rachel Berry doesn't believe in love at first sight anymore." He says and Rachel shrugs as she slides her black pea coat from her shoulders.
"I can only assume my point of view has changed from maturing over time. We're not in high school. I'm a 27 year old woman. I can't just keep playing into that fantasy." She says with an amused smile.
"So, if it isn't love at first sight then what is it?" Kurt asks as he pulls off his black leather gloves.
"Infatuation or lust at the most. You can't love someone you don't know. They could be a murderer!" Rachel says and Kurt chuckles as he crosses his legs and picks up his cup.
"People fall in love with murderers! There are women who seek them out." He says before bringing the hot liquid to his mouth.
"That is not the same thing." Rachel say, sitting her cup down.
"It is. These women will see their mugshots, fall in love and then marry these men." Kurt says with a light shrug. Rachel rolls her eyes and sighs.
"Fine, but those women still aren't in love with them. They find them attractive and that's why they reach out. Love isn't just...a feeling. It takes work." Rachel says. Kurt gingerly nods his head.
"While that may be true, you're thinking in too much detail. We're basing this off of a glance. The moment you lock eyes with a complete stranger and feel a sensation you've never experienced before. I think it's very romantic and extremely possible."
"Do you honestly feel like you've experienced it?" Rachel asks. Kurt looks thoughtful before answering.
"I honestly believe I have. I knew Blaine was the one when I laid eyes on him." Kurt says with smile. Rachel smiles at her friend, knowing how madly in love he is with his boyfriend.
"You two are adorable! But that makes you bias." Kurt playfully rolls his eyes with a light shake of his head.
"Okay, you win this round but I'll add this. When you know, you know and there doesn't have to be any explanation for it." Kurt glances at his friend before taking another sip of coffee and realizes he no longer has an ounce of her attention.
Following her line of sight, Kurt notices she's staring at a woman waiting on her order. Kurt quickly analyzes the woman. She seems to be a few inches taller than Rachel, dark brown hair, tan skin, very busty even through her winter coat and full lips. After evaluating her outfit, makeup and noticing the lack of a wedding ring, Kurt gives a small approving nod to himself.
"Are you going to talk to her or stare until she leaves?" Kurt asks, causing Rachel to glance at him with flushed cheeks from embarrassment.
"What did...hypothetically, if love at first sight was a thing...how would it feel?" Rachel asks as a smirk appears on Kurt's lips.
"It feels like...you don't want that person to walk away, so I suggest you go get her." Kurt says, smiling at his previously skeptic friend.
Rachel clears her throat and stands from her seat, brushing away imaginary lint from skirt before walking over to the Latina woman. Kurt watches with an amused smirk as the woman glances at Rachel, seemingly becoming entranced by his friend. Rachel may not believe in love at first sight but Kurt knows it when he sees it.
