Everything else is secondary.”

“They say a heart breaks, but it doesn't. It goes on working, mute and stubborn as a mule.”
Rupert Thomson, Never Anyone But You
“Sometimes the person you're closest to is the one you understand the least. Sometimes, when you're that close, everything just blurs.”
Rupert Thomson, Never Anyone But You
