“You have to learn to see things through the eyes of different people. Expect things that are not worth doing, based on your system of values, to be well worth it for someone else.

“And, Vera . . .” “Yeah.” “I want you to know that I love you. I know you know, but I want you to hear me say it. And I know you told me not to start apologizing, but I’m sorry I haven’t told you that more often.”
― Robert Dugoni, A Steep Price

“And it occurred to me, over a bowl of soggy cereal, that I could live like this. Compartmentalized. There, but separate. Together, but alone. Loving, but isolated. This is how I had been living most of my life, after all. In a household where my mother might appear in the middle of the night to do unspeakable things with a hairbrush. Then hours later, we’d sit across from one another sharing a platter of buttermilk biscuits for breakfast. My mother had prepared me well for this life. I glanced over at my husband, crunching away on Cheerios. I wondered who had prepared him.”
