Status Updates From Finding a Memory (Independe...

All done. Favorite spot in this section?

“Look at you! First a social commentary on why people read fiction and now recognizing my literary references. It’s the penultimate in flirting, my dear Hornigold.”

Favorite bit this time.
“Miz Patti, if he only loved the girl you were, then he didn’t love you. He just loved things about you.” After letting that sink in a moment, he continued. “Folks change and grow as they get older. You have to love who they are and will be. Frank’s the kind of man who understands that.” He reached across and took one of her trembling hands. “Frank loves you, not just his memory of you.”

Favorite quote of the day...

“Happy Hanaholichriswanza to you, too.”

Favorite quote of this section:
“I just never knew that ‘in Your timing’ meant forty-some-odd years later.”

My favorite lines of this section:

For the first time in twenty years, Patti sobbed for so many things. Her daughter’s pain. Her husband’s torment. Her girlhood wiped away with the foolish pledge of, “I do.”

Haven't made much progress, but I just loved this line and had to share:

Indecision picked a fight with hope and almost won.

Favorite line so far.

"A girl might seem practical, but that doesn’t mean she won’t enjoy feeling like she was worth taking trouble for.”
