Why Do People Fall in Love?

Love feels like magic, but there’s a reason for it. When people fall in love, their brains get excited and happy, just like when you get your favorite treat! The brain releases chemicals called feel-good hormones, which make us feel close to the person we love. It's like when two friends start playing together and suddenly become best friends, they just click!
