Two by Two

by Nicholas Sparks

Ideally, the curveball slides past the couple with little damage; at other times, facing those pitches together makes the couple more committed to each other. But sometimes, the curveballs end up smacking us in the chest and close to the heart, leaving bruises that never seem to heal.

Guilt, in other words, isn’t always wasted. It can keep us from making the same mistake twice.

If it comes, let it come. If it stays, let it stay. If it goes, let it go.
