The moment happens, and you make your crucial mistake, and then it’s gone and the chance to do anything about it is blown away.
That's the way it goes. Some things happen and some things don't. This one is obviously just wasn't meant to be. Except deep down... I still believe it was.
Suddenly I've had enough of all this. I've had enough of being made to feel insecure and paranoid and wondering what's going on
Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.
Shit. My Fitbit’s stopped working. Is it the battery? Tilda clicks with annoyance. How many steps have we done? She bangs her Fitbit. It doesn’t count unless it goes on my Fitbit. I might as well not...
Relationships are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person should share, too.

No! Linus sounds really shocked. Shocked, embarrassed, discomfited. Kind of mortified. Like he can’t believe I would say that. (I’m getting all this from one syllable, you understand.)
Men who want to get marriedpropose. You don’t need to read the signs. They propose and that’s the sign.
