Evidence of the Affair

by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I have made the best decision I know how.

Often, I feel overwhelmed by this sinking feeling in my heart that I will never be enough.

Sometimes I think mine might turn to stone any minute now, and yet every time I see you I soften, reminded of how you still choose kindness over anger at every step.

It seems as if you see me exactly as I wish to be seen. There is no greater gift than that.
