“It's more like you meet someone, and you fall in love, and you hope that that person is the one—and then at some point, you have to put down your chips. You just have to make a commitment and hope that you're right.”

“Having kids sent a tornado through your marriage, then made you happy for the devastation. Even if you could rebuild everything just the way it was before, you’d never want to.”

“So you think that most people bet everything, their whole lives, on hope. Just hoping that what they're feeling is real.'

'Real isn't relevant,' Georgie said, turning completely to face Heather. 'It's like . . . you're tossing a ball between you, and you're just hoping you can keep it in the air. And it has nothing to do with whether you love each other or not. If you didn't love each other, you wouldn't be playing this stupid game with the ball. You love each other--and you just hope you can keep the ball in play.'

'What's the ball a metaphor for?'

'I'm not sure,' Georgie said. 'The relationship. Marriage.”
