People shouldn't experience the act of love until they are in love.

— Cruel Intentions ‧ 1999

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Annette draws a distinction between physical intimacy and the feeling that should accompany it. For her, the act belongs within an existing emotional bond. The statement expresses a personal standard for closeness, making love a condition of intimacy rather than something the act automatically creates.
