She was all about him yesterday—they even have a date next week. But suddenly, she says, “I just don’t know about him. I just don’t think my future husband would use emojis, and I feel like if he was actually nice and if I really liked him, I wouldn’t feel this way.”

The Invisible String: How Music Connects Us to Emotion, Memory, and Love
