““Since the divorce, and the midlife, and the realization that this is going to be as good as it gets - a crumbling house on the lake, an average-in-every-way-daughter, and a dead-end job at the DMV - she has wrapped herself in a cocoon. She's been cocooning, and I've been trying to coax her out and spread her wings. Because although that's as good as it gets, there is magic in each one of those things. The lake. The daughter. The job. The moments. There can still be magic in the moments.””
