She’d never spoken to anyone before of this business of being seen, loved for who she was; to have it voiced by this man she’d just met sent chills down her spine.

About This Quote

When a woman says she has never spoken to anyone about the business of being seen - as opposed to the business of being seen as attractive - then you know that she is a vulnerable person who feels very strongly about her looks. She’s at a point in her life where she is going to be open to the idea of getting someone’s attention for a change. She is going to take a leap of faith and start trusting someone else with her feelings, believing that he knows what he’s doing.In this quote, after meeting Marco she says that she has never been told before by anyone that she was beautiful . In this case, it is important that Marco knew how to make her feel beautiful. He knows exactly what to say and how to say it in order for her to feel special.
