Lovely story of poetry vs science, love at first sight and amazing synchronicity. Natasha is about to be deported back to Jamaica,  from where she left as an 8 yr old, and Daniel is a Korean American whose immigrant parents want him to go to Yale for medicine, although he would prefer to write poetry.  They meet in much more than a meet-cute. Their story provides nice back story asides.
