The Intoxication of Obsessive Love
The first time she saw Ciaran at that Dublin art gallery in April 2012, something about him was different. Beyond his exceptional beauty-his "downy, darkening blond" hair, large grey eyes, and perfect cherubic mouth-there was an "immense stillness radiating from his body," a self-containment that seemed otherworldly amid the social chaos. Her reaction transcended mere attraction; it was "grave and troubling pity," an intense tenderness for his human condition. He became the first man she worshipped, his body "a site of prayer." This immediate elevation foreshadowed the unhealthy dynamic to come. Their first conversation revealed fundamental differences. Discussing art, she admitted uncertainty while he found freedom in art's lack of fixed meaning. Before leaving, Ciaran gave her his nearly-full beer, asked her to walk with him tomorrow, and wrote his number on a napkin-small gestures that took on enormous significance in her mind. Her life before him was fractured-happy in public but tormented in private. Having abandoned religion after childhood, she had cultivated a great faith in love instead, seeing it as the force that would "set ablaze the fields of my life in one go" and make her worthy through its presence. Despite an awkward first date at the Natural History Museum, she realized she was already in love with him, "and there wasn't a thing he or anybody else could do to change it."
