For me it was how I put away all these parts of myself that didn’t fit with him. Stupid stuff, like what kind of music I liked, or what I thought about a political situation. I guess I told you something about this a while back. I didn’t lie about what I liked or what I thought. I just let it sink down to some spot where it wouldn’t get in the way. Not because I thought his way should win, even though now—looking back—it seems like it always did. But more because . . . it was like the difference between my day going smoothly or everything turning into a total mess.”
