If this story teaches you anything, I hope it isn't how to love.
There are enough books that do that already.
I'd rather teach you how ordinary people become strangers.
How good intentions rot.
How timing ruins things that feelings never could.
And why, sometimes, the person who loves you the most is the one you should run from.

Lisa would stay quiet.

He'd ask why you waited until now to find out.
