by Lauren Andreano from the June 1 issue.Tagline: Allie had always known who the real Romeo was...
I'm liking the Stream of Consciousness method of analysis. So here we go again.
It's funny because my son was recently in a school play, but it was nothing as high-falootin' as Romeo and Juliet. It was called "Who Killed Elvis?" and was a comedy.
Two parents are dropping their daughter and the daughter's friend off at the high school. They're performing in Romeo and Juliet. The dad, Gary, launches into a oft told story of how the mom also played Juliet and how he fell in love with her back in the day. I laughed when the girls started quoting his story verbatim.
It's clever how Andreano tells the romance story through the girls retelling. I laughed when they referred to Gary as Montague #5.
The girls leave the car and Andreano lays a surprise on me that I didn't see coming. Gary whips out a present, a gold rose pin, as a token of his love.
I only have one question. Where can I get a man like that??? LOL
This was an excellent example of a story showing an already established couple rather than a first meet.
