““Okay," he said, "would I be twisting you words too much if I said that you are mad at Lydia because she loves you?" I had to think about that for a while. "I suppose not. We weren't supposed to fall in love with each other." So she's violated your agreement?" Then he wanted to know why Lydia would have ever agreed to such a thing in the first place. Why would she want to be in a relationship not based on love? We decided the only reason would be if she was afraid of love. And if she was no longer afraid of love, wasn't that good? Didn't it say that she was healthier and more mature? And why had I ever wanted to be with someone who was neither of these things? Was I, too, afraid of love?””
