“When you’re friends with someone for such a long time, it’s easy to feel like she belongs to you, like the version of the person you became friends with is the only real version. If she hated peas when she was a kid then she will always hate peas, and if she starts to eat them and declare them delicious, really she is deluding herself, masking her hatred of them, trying to pretend she’s someone she’s not.”
