Katherine Heiny Quote: “Here they were grocery shopping in Fairway on a Saturday morning, a normal married thing to do together – although, Graham could not help noticing, they were not doing it together.

Katherine Heiny Quote: “You take Boris’s hand as he bounds along on his long legs, your signal that he has to either slow down or pull you along. He tucks both your hand and his hand into the pocket of his jacket. You look up at his face out of the corner of your eye.

How could Duncan not realize that every time you fell in love and it didn’t work out, it scraped out a little piece of you, like scooping out a piece of cantaloupe with a melon baller, and there were only so many times that could happen before the scoop marks started to show? That in really no time at all, your heart could become a cold, pockmarked stone?”
