‘I’m not saying my life is perfect,’ Grace said, ‘far from it. And I’m not saying that I don’t sometimes miss… well, having someone special in my life. But the point is that I know now that I can survive – thrive – on my own. That I can depend on myself. That I’ve got my own back. If someone comes along, it would be lovely. But if they leave, or never arrive at all… that I will be perfectly OK, content.’
