"Every couple has a story they tell themselves about
themselves, a story that hums beneath them as a kind
of engine, motoring them through trouble and into the
future..But stories have power only insofar as they're believed, and suddenly, Elizabeth wondered if her and Jack's story wasn't in fact just another highly embellish placebo,just a fiction they both believed because of how good and special it made them feel."

"What do real couples actually do together? he wonders. How do real couples spend all that time?

"What the fuck am I doing wrong? was basically her everyday mantra, and yet, somehow, Toby thought she was perfect. And Jack too thought she was perfect. And so the big question was: Why was she the only one who disagreed?..And then it came to her. She was still on that tennis court.. willing herself to lose, still sabotaging herself to avoid her father's jealousy, prevent his revenge.'

"Lawrence, after all, could have told Jack to toughen up, to be a man, as so many of the other fathers did. But no, Lawrence had never asked Jack to be anything other than what he was. Lawrence had accepted Jack in a way that Jack could not, he thought now, reciprocate."

"..and suddenly sitting there watching Toby happily eat Elizabeth wondered if her and Jack's story wasn't in fact just another highly embellished placebo, just a fiction they both believed because of how good and special it made them feel. And maybe all love was like that, a placebo, and maybe every marriage ceremony was part if that placebo's elaborate ornamentation, its therapeutic context."
