“As we moved farther downtown through rows of dressed-up, dark silhouettes, we made small talk about people we hardly knew. All there was to do, it seemed, was talk about other people. To talk about ourselves, our shortcomings, our bad books and bad paintings, our parents who we were not talking to, these significant others who we were treating badly, would have been too much.”

“She’d been looking for her father. Now she’d found him, but of course only on TV did these things go as desired.

If someone walked out of your life + humbly came back, you were lucky + surprised.”
