"I'm the most important person in the lives of almost everyone I know and a good number of the people I've never even met."
I’m so afraid that Hugh and I won’t have anything to talk about… If I left it up to Hugh, we’d just sit there acting like what we are: two people so familiar with each other they could scream. Sometimes, when I find it hard to sleep, I’ll think of when we first met, of the newness of each other’s body, and my impatience to know everything about this person. Looking back, I should have taken it more slowly - measured him out over the course of 50 years rather than cramming him in so quickly.
