“So it's all good to go. Pound away, man!”
“My heart is pounding so hard I'm surprised it's not bleeding.”
“Sure, I’m sad, but I’m not looking to soothe that sadness by replacing it with a new relationship. Women are allowed to be sad, and they’re allowed to be single, and they don’t need to hear that one day a man is going to make it all go away by telling her she is good enough again. She’s good enough as she is.”
“When an eighty-five pound mammal licks your tears away, then tries to sit on your lap, it's hard to feel sad.”
“And then more quiet, silence so deep it almost drowned out the roar of the night music that pounded away in my secret self.”
“Well, it's interesting, so it's all good.”
