"I couldn't really believe that she'd decided to be with Anthony, whom I would never choose over Hugh, or choose over anyone, or choose over no one. That made it hard for me to believe that Venice and I were the same person underneath everything, which was what I thought love required."
"Up until that moment, I'd been at the earliest stage of love, when you feel it turn you into the person you want to be. Now, his gentle voice and sage advice took me to that later stage: I felt I needed to pretend to be a better person than I was so he'd keep loving me. This was hard because it made me hate him."
