Quote(s)

1.
Usually he looked like a kindly version
of Santa Claus with the glasses and his white hair, but lately he’d reminded
her more of a very disappointed father who knew his daughter was sneaking out
in the middle of the night to meet up with some boy but wasn’t going to confront
her on it. 2.
At twenty-six her mom had been on her
own with four kids under the age of eight, and she’d taught Sarah early that
the only person she could truly count on was herself. Others came and went,
willingly or not. 3.
Except, she didn’t want it. She didn’t
want that burden. That reminder of how very different they were. Could she
really keep whatever was in that box knowing that her brother had just lost
his construction job and wasn’t going to be able to feed his kids next month? 4.
I don’t want to fight with you, Sarah. But
what are we if we aren’t serious? 5.
She looked away. She could never
explain to him what it was like. She could never make him feel the
uncertainty she carried around all the time. The fear and worry. She could
never explain to him how hard it was to keep close to her family, to see them
and love them and interact with them, when her life was slowly moving so far
from their day-to-day reality. She’d just flown a private
jet to Paris to see her boyfriend. Even thinking the words made her cringe. How
frickin’ pretentious was that? Oh, I’m going to Paris for the weekend to meet
my billionaire boyfriend. I’m going to take his jet and we’ll stay in a
penthouse suite and eat caviar and drink Dom Perignon while we roll around in
1,800-threadcount sheets. It was the truth. But who
said shit like that? So instead she was lying to everyone she knew. She’d
told her mom it was a business trip, for cryin’ out loud. She was slowly being ripped
apart. Half of her wanted to be with her family, to belong in their world because
they were to only ones who knew and understood what her childhood had been
like. But the other half of her wanted everything that Tyler offered. The jets,
the jewelry, the life of ease and luxury. She was only now starting
to realize that she couldn’t have both. And starting to worry that
she couldn’t have either one. Had she left her family too
far behind to ever go back? And, if so, what happened if she failed to make
the jump to Tyler’s world? She’d be alone. But she couldn’t tell Tyler
that. He’d never get it. Oh, he might say the right words and pretend to
understand, but she knew he never would, not really. 6.
She turned in his arms and gazed into
his eyes. “I’m comfortable with myself, you know that. But… I’d rather you
saw me naked when we were in the midst of … you know. Less time to notice the
flaws.” 7.
How could she envy any woman right now
when she had the perfect man in her life? 8.
Of course. Family. It’s what matters,
you know. Without family you have nothing. 9.
She may not have had money growing up,
but she had something far more valuable than that. People who knew her, flaws
and all, and still loved her. 10.
Unfortunately, life didn’t work that
way. It forced you to choose even when you didn’t want to. 11.
Just remember, Sarah. Men come and go. Family
is forever. Be sure you don’t treat ‘em so poorly they aren’t here when you
finally need ‘em. 12.
She read the offending paragraph and
cringed. “I must’ve forgotten to run spell check. I can send you a new draft.” 13.
He was no longer the disappointed
father. Now he was the pissed off father who’d just found out his kid was
stealing from him to buy crack. 14.
You might want to reconsider whether
sleeping with the head of your company is the best choice you can make for
your career. 15.
How could life be so perfect and so
wrong all at the same time? 16.
So why the last minute change, Sarah? Why
didn’t you tell me sooner? I would’ve stayed in Moscow if I’d known. The only
reason I’m in Frankfurt is because of you. 17.
It wasn’t the money. It was family. She let out a deep breath. “I
don’t want to fly back every couple of weeks, Tyler. I want to have Sunday
dinner at my mom’s house like I have since I was little and go to my niece’s
ballet recital on a Tuesday and watch my nephew play t-ball on Saturday and
sit on my sister’s porch with a beer in my hand and just shoot the shit every
once in a while.” She bit her lips, suddenly realizing the truth. “I can’t do
that if I’m with you.” 18.
“So that’s it then?” his voice was flat
and cold. Sarah nodded. “Yeah, I guess
it is.” “Fine. I … I have to go.” His
voice broke slightly on the last word and he hung up. |

Thoughts

(5) Of course he never would. He has never
experienced any of it. Nonetheless, you have NEVER tried to let him
understand. You only do the math in your head. Is that relationship? Is that
what you want in a relationship? Keeping things from the partner of yours? You
sure you want to go down this path? —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (7) It’s annoying, you know. Keep on saying
things like this but never make an effort to try to make the relationship
work. Not physically but emotionally. —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (12) Oh no. This is just the beginning. —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (15) Because you don’t know how to prioritise.
Because you don’t know what is more important than the other. Most of all,
you don’t communicate with your partner. This is where things start to go haywire.
Because your partner do not know about your plan. —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (16) See? Everything can be avoided if you
be more upfront. COMMUNICATE, WILL YOU? —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (17) Finally! Some progress! —————— ΰΈ
՞• •՞ΰΈ
——————— (18) Nah. Don’t worry about it. You guys
will make it back together. |
Conclusion
|
Communication matters. DO NOT do the
math in your head. TALK to your partner. It’s annoying as it is. |
