Marian Keyes Quote

Are you okay?’ she asked. ‘You look a bit …’‘Grand,’ I said. ‘It’s just the clouds. When it’s overcast like this, it does my head in.’A strange expression passed over her face. ‘The sky is blue.’I took a look out of the window; the sky was blue. ‘When did that happen?’‘It’s been blue all morning.’But it didn’t make things any better. I was still uneasy, just in a different way. The empty sky looked hard and cold and merciless. Couldn’t they have put in some clouds to soften it up a bit?
