““I loved Yejide from the very first moment. No doubt about that. But there are things even love can’t do. Before I got married, I believed love could do anything. I learned soon enough that it couldn’t bear the weight of four years without children.

But even when it’s in a thousand pieces around your feet, that doesn’t mean it’s no longer love.””
