Kindle Notes & Highlights
“He’s a man, dear,� Amelia explained kindly. “Sustained thinking is very difficult for them.� “As opposed to women,� Leo retorted, “who have the remarkable ability to make decisions without doing any thinking at all.�
“My love � I would choose the small sum of hours I’ve spent with you over a lifetime spent with another woman. You never needed to write that note, asking me to find you. I’ve wanted to find you my entire life. I don’t think there’s a man alive who could be all the things you deserve in a husband � but I beg you to let me try. Will you marry me?�
“The trick was forgetting about what she had lost � and learning to go on with what she had left.�
Leo murmured, “When I give you away at the altar, Bea, I want you to remember something. I’m not really giving you away. I’m merely allowing him the chance to love you as much as the rest of us do.�
If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you.
