Right now Quote by Gabrielle Zevin
““He pats you on the shoulder. “We’re lucky,” he said. “We got to have this time, and we didn’t ruin anyone’s life in the process. It doesn’t feel like it right now, but one day, you’ll look back and think this was a very good outcome.” An outcome, you think. When I was young, I had this affair, and wow, what an outcome!””
