I guess love is the real suspension of disbelief.

It might sound ordinary for a woman to find out her husband's cheating on her, but not if you're the woman and it's your husband.

I hate weddings,' she says. 'They make me feel so unmarried. Actually, even brushing my teeth makes me feel unmarried.

She seems sort of lost.' I thought, Lost how? How am I lost? Suddenly I felt lost.

i realize i will never hear from dena again, and i will never call her. it gives me a chill. it is a strange thing to end a friendship, even if you know it's what you want. it's like a death; all of a sudden your experience of a person become finite.

The only relationships I haven't wrecked right away were the ones that wrecked me later.
