Already crying

“ she thinks how all the old songs are true, how love is often just pain, still four letters, the flipside of the same feeling.”

STOPP! Okay I’m not spoiling it so I’m not going to say who died but he picked the book up that they were reading and he touched the page and I don’t know why I’m just bawling my eyes out. The fact that that was the last thing that they probably touched and he’s trying to connect. Also, what is it when they ring their phone and it just keeps ringing that has me crying? Because there’s no anticipation.

“he was going to give her the Montenegro necklace, one day. The one she looked at in the market, which he bought, later, when she wasn’t looking. He has kept all these years, and it’s crease paper bag. So he takes it to the beach, when she’s probably saying I do or I will or in sickness and in health, and he throws it into the waves, like they do in the movies, and it does not make him feel better.”

‘How the worst thing, the most not – okay thing in both of their lives, occurred, because the world is crawling unpredictable and things just happen, sometimes, and their understanding of this is what brings them back together, over and over, in spite of it’

This is just going to be the biggest tragedy and I’m calling it that this is going to be painful. Will is giving Joey Lynch, thus a hint enough. ‘she can hear so much noise in the silence between them, the lie, the hurt on both sides, because it’s not fair, this is not fair, and she wants to tell him the truth, but she can’t, and her throat swells as she watches him believe all that’s she said.’
