At first, being with Sebastian was like being in the middle of the best dream I'd ever had - but now it mostly feels exhausting. I'm up one minute and down the next; questioning what I say and do. Even questioning my sanity.

maybe he's falling in love with the idea of falling in love with me. Maybe he wants to be in love with someone and I've ended up in the right place at the right time.

I don't go to parties to meet men. I go to parties to stand in a corner and watch people.

Rule number one: Why is it that the one time a cute guy talks to you, you have a friend who's in crisis?

I always thought that there was a really good chance that I wasn't going to get married.

You know what they say: A woman needs a man about as much as a fish needs a bicycle.
