“She said evenly, ‘We’re both doing our best. That’s what we’re doing. It isn’t everything the dream of love is supposed to be, but it’s the best we can do. It’s us, isn’t it? This is who we are.

We’ve learned that. It’s not as simple as we thought it was. We’re no longer the people we were then.”
― Alex Miller, The Passage of Love
