I was the right girl at the wrong time.
You were the wrong guy at the right time.
❝ He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day.

Choice: that was the thing. ❞

❝ I thought I understood it, but I didn’t. I only knew the idea of it. Of you and me. I thought I understood it, but I didn’t, not really. I knew the smudge-ness of it, the even-ness of it, the idea of it. For you and me. ❞

❝ Sometimes, when we want something really badly, we lose sight of what it really is. ❞
