‘No woman is anyone’s “other half”. We are all entire people. Completely whole, and totally unique. But sometimes when you put two very different whole people together, a kind of magic, an alchemy, occurs. Bea said I was like eggs and sugar, and she was flour and butter, and when you mixed us together, we were more than just the combination of our ingredients, we were a whole damn cake. And the problem is, when you’re used to being a magnificent, mouth-watering cake, it’s really, really hard to get used to being just eggs and sugar once more.’
