I love that sentence so much. The predator fell in love with its prey..it doesnt sound very good if you put it simply like that. I guess thats why "the lion fell in love with the lamb" sound so beautiful and amazing.
Oh and lilypad...I know what ya mean..I wrote down some of my favourite quotes from twilight(im obsessed at the moment) and when she read this one she was like "Huh, that makes no sense!"..I fell off my chair in shock(literally...i have the bruise on my back to prove it!!) I was like "OMG!! How can you not get it, its so simple..." and then spent about 10 minutes explaining it to her before she finally understood. Wow! lol.
