And then, three months in, almost to the day, he told her he loved her. She announced it at a dinner with mates. We all toasted it and shrieked with joy—I wrote a sad soliloquy about it on my iPhone notes on the night bus home.
“hadn’t ever thought that a man could love me in the same way my friends love me; that I could love a man with the same commitment and care with which I love them. Maybe all this time I had been in a great marriage without even realizing. Maybe Farly was what a good relationship felt like.”

I wondered if I would ever have that with someone or if I was even built”
