“Well-wishers will tell you that wounds heal over time.
Don't believe them.
The only thing time heals is other people's memories. Surprisingly soon, they forget about your tragedy. They move on. They forget that your pain is as constant as your heartbeat.
Gift it time, they say. Things will get easier, they say. I can't remember how many times a well-intentioned family friend or a sincerely concerned observer assured me of this so-called "fact">
You'll get over it. You have a future. You'll be okay.
It's all a lie.”

“Fancifully, I had thought I would feel the exact moment if anything ever happened to Scarlett, even if she wasn't nearby. Some kind of immense magnetic disturbance as our two hemispheres divided and went their separate ways.”

“When I'd woken the next morning, I'd done so in a dislocated world of dimmed daylight and diluted colors, a sodden world, feeling like I was a castaway on an alien planet.”
