“Lately she had been having this strange experience of waking up in the middle of the night not knowing who she was—that was the only way to describe it. The feeling wasn’t figurative, but literal: when she looked around her bedroom in Tribeca, she didn’t recognize her life. How had she become so old, so young? It was as if she had taken over the body of another character—one who was a wife and a mother—and was now expected to play its part. But recently the lines of dialogue had diminished, and what she had been left with was a set of camera angles and stage directions and a script that she couldn’t remember ever having been given.”

“She was a human being. No single one of those identities would ever contain her. Instead she was going to wake up every day, and smile at her husband, and privately wonder whether he was the best or worst decision of her life.”

“I bite my tears down as I beg for him to fuck me harder and harder and harder, secretly hoping that if he fucks me hard enough, he'll fuck the resentment right out of me. He never does.”

“She thought about how strange time was - the sly way it had of making things precious.”

“The cops would come and maybe there'd be a female and she'd ask, "Why were you breaking and entering?" as she snapped the cuffs on me and I'd say, "To be close to him. I just wanted to be close to him." And she'd look at me with understanding. Maybe that's all this rabid part of me wants-- to be understood. To know that it's not crazy or troubled or wrong. That this is just what it feels like to want an unavailable man.”
