“Someone should tell you you're beautiful every time the sun comes up. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Wednesdays. And at teatime. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve and the evening before Christmas Eve, and on Easter. He should tell you on Guy Fawkes Night and on New Year's, and on the eigth of August, just because.”

“We’re only ever playing fifty percent of a character. The rest is us, and we’re afraid to show people who we really are. We’re afraid of looking foolish if we reveal the full force of our emotions.”

“You were in a bad mood writing that last message and said some very morbid things about wanting to die for the revolution. I hope by the time you receive this reply you will be thinking more about wanting to live for the revolution, and what such a life would look like. You say that few people care what happens to you, and I dond't know if that's true, but I do know that some of us care very, very much - e.g. myself, Simon, your mother. I also feel certain it's better to be deeply loved (which you are) than widely liked (which you probably also are! but I won't labour the point).”

“Anyway, Edie, this is really exciting for you.” He stopped.
“I’m sorry—I should’ve asked—do you still want to be called Edie?”
Edie frowned. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“Well—” He paused. “I didn’t know how far into the process you
were, and—”
“What process?”
“Um, the transition process?” He should’ve stopped when he saw
Edie’s befuddlement, but he didn’t. “JB said you were transitioning?”
“Yeah, to Hong Kong,” said Edie, still frowning. “I’m going to be a
freelance vegan consultant for medium-size hospitality businesses.
Wait a minute—you thought I was transitioning genders?”
“Oh god,” he said, and two thoughts, separate but equally
resonant, filled his mind: I am going to kill JB. And: I can’t wait to tell
Jude about this conversation. “Edie, I’m so, so sorry.”
