“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous.

They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

“Sorry, clumsy,” she says.

“You always were, Sadie. One of your more endearing traits.”

We clasp hands, fingers folding together naturally, and for me the years fall away like a coat that’s too heavy and too tight. In that moment, I hope on thing above all others: that she was not too busy to find at least one good man …
