"In school, they would tell you that life wouldnâ€™t come to you; you had to go out and make it your own. But when it came to love, the message for girls seemed to be this: Donâ€™t.

You might even meet someone at a party, take him home and sleep with him, never to see him or hear from him again. But to join hands and stand holding each other that way, with the electricity of possibilities flowing between you? The tenderness of it, the promise of it, is only something you share with a few people in your life.”
