Let It Snow

‘Why focus on the one small thing that’s not perfect, when the rest is so good?’

For the first time I realised, with an overwhelming rush of dread, that love wasn’t going to be enough.

But I was starting to appreciate that he was abnormal in some of the best ways.

‘One of us made it for those reasons. The other person did it because he’d have said anything to make her happy.’

You can beat yourself up about what’s happened. Allow the guilt to keep gnawing away. Or, you can accept that the only thing you can change now is what happens next. Make the most of that.’
