I had decided to give up on men for a while—specifically, for the rest of my fucking life.

You never know when you’re going to run smack into the love of your life. It’s haphazard, a chance occurrence, a single dumb moment that changes everything, forever. If you’d made a different decision—if you’d showed up a day earlier or an hour later, taken another route, or decided not to go at all—then the life you’re living now would be completely different. It’s so arbitrary, and so ordinary.
