“This flatshare. I wish I never done it. Wish I'd never opened up my life like that and let someone else walk in and fill it up. I was doing fine - safe, managing. Now my flat's not mine, it's ours, and when she's gone all I will see is the absence of Tiffin and books about bricklayers and that bloody stupid paisley beanbag. It'll be another room full of what's missing. Just what I didn't want.”
― Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

“Being nice is a good thing. You can be strong and nice. You don’t have to be one or the other.”
