Chapter 22

• People used to say that there is no one that is unable to survive one year of a marriage test. It means that however difficult it may be, as long as the time is short, it is possible to push through it. I’d like to meet the person who uttered those words. I cursed the person who spoke so easily of it. I had only endured a month of it and I’ve already become ragged. I told this to Noah over the phone.
• Even this one month is killing me, how do you expect me to do this for a year? I’ll never last a whole year. It’s just a relief that it’s only for two months.
• I was alone, other than the taxi driver. It had been the first time in a long time that I was able to speak my mind truthfully to Noah. A conversation that I could never utter in front of Alpha Damien.
