"My bargaining letter, my please-proceed-without-me letter. My whole life I felt like I could never give you the right thing, give you enough; I was perpetually failing. But in these pages, I had articulated something of worth. Here I had let you know me. And now the question was, Would you understand? Would you be convinced that true love can be, despite what we’re told, a forgetting?"

'But she cut in. “You’d never cheat on your husband, right?” She didn’t care about breastfeeding. “I don’t have the energy even if I wanted to.” “See, that’s the kind of stability I’m looking for.” I hadn’t said much about my husband to her yet. I wondered what made her assume stability. A part of me was proud, though. It’s what I’d been after all these years.'

"Had he also been disturbed by the recent famous woman who lost her case against her more famous husband? Had he been stirred by this injustice and then thought of me, his old girlfriend and all her baggage? All she had confessed to him? Maybe he was in a twelve-step program and had reached that pesky ninth step where you upended other people’s lives under the guise of making *amends.*"

"You told me most women, if they possessed even a shred of intuition, could tell when a man wanted them, that one day I would be wanted and I’d have to ask myself if I really wanted the man back, or if I was just in love with the fact of his wanting. How the two could look remarkably alike but were in fact different. I told you it seemed like the wrong question to ask. You threw your head back and laughed."
