Alone because love was one of those feelings that you could never have control of. And she needed to be in control.

Cecelia AhernAlways a chancer, always lucky, he'd fall into a river and come out dry, with fish in his pockets.
Cecelia AhernMoments are precious, sometimes they linger and other times they're fleeing, and yet so much could be done in them; you could change a mind, you could save a life and you could even fall in love.
Cecelia AhernIt's not the job of this town to make me feel happy. It's not this townยดs fault that I don't feel I fit in. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, because it's about where you are in your head. It's about the other world I inhabit. The world of dreams, hope, imagination, and memories. I'm happy up here, and because of that I'm happy up there too
