But when someone's gone and you're the primary keeper of his memory—letting go would be a kind of murder, wouldn't it? I had so much love for him, even if it was a complicated love, and where is all that love supposed to go? He was gone, so it couldn't change, it couldn't turn to indifference. I was stuck with all that love.

No, Cecily, I'm upset because I'm thirty-one and all my friends are fucking dying.

What mortal wouldn't fall for that, at least a little bit? To know that someone was longing for you was the world's strongest aphrodisiac.
