That's how it had been with her studies, with certain boyfriends, with certain dreams she had never shared with anyone."

"When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way."

"But they both agreed that it's always nice to know that your wife is desired by another man, although they wouldn't go any further than that."
