Vironika Tugaleva
“They hit me raw, hard, real,
the words you say (and don't)
as I leave to catch my flight.

But in real life airports,
no one is chasing anyone
to ask for a longer story.

And on real life airplanes,
it is too loud for anyone
to hear anyone else cry.”
Vironika Tugaleva

“She’d wanted love, a husband and children, a home filled with laughter and security, the things she’d never had as a child. She’d stopped even dreaming about them, she realized, and that was the saddest thing of all. But then she’d never really had a chance; she’d fallen in love with the one man she couldn't have, and it appeared that she was one of those women who loved on once in their lifetime”
Linda Howard, Sarah's Child
