"Then I had realised what had happened - he had come, filled the gap and, when he left, he took more than he had arrived with. He had charmed his way into my heart, made me trust him and, then when I wasn't looking, had stolen my emotional fixtures and fittings, leaving my interior sitting-room stripped bare. He had probably gone to a pub in Camden and sold the lot for way under their market value."
Marian Keyes, 1997.
Sometimes you find you find the most profoundly resonating things in the most unexpected of places.
p.s - Please do not tell anyone about my reading the Keyes woman. It is my dirty little secret.
