“Love happens over breakfast.’ ” “It’s just something Cormack said when we were first married. Romance happens over dinner. The candlelight, the wine.” “Everyone looks a lot better than they usually do,” Cormack says and laughs. Reenie rolls her eyes. “Well, yes,” she says. “That’s the romance of it.

You bring your real self to breakfast.”

“I just mean, a story can be beautiful not because of the way it ends. But because of the way it’s written.”
