Claire blew out a frustrated breath. She hated explaining abstract concepts like this. She needed better words.
"Okay, I phrased that wrong. You care about that person—because it does have to be a person, not an animal—the most and have romantic feelings toward them instead of only caring about them. I really don't have a definition for romance so look it up, okay?"
Alex did as she said and seemed even more confused. "This says romantic means conducive to or characterized by the expression of love. How is that different than regular love?"
She wanted to strangle whoever came up with these definitions. They weren't helpful trying to explain concepts to someone who never experienced them before at all! There had to be something else she could use.
