She had thought about that moment so often during the past few years it had dried out. It was stale, like old, odourless potpourri. But she still want back to it, because it was the only one.

About This Quote

It has been a year since she had lost her husband. She was looking back at the memories of the good times they had shared. She was sad because she hadn’t been able to have any children. Her husband had always wanted that, but it hadn’t happened for them.

She was sad because he wasn’t there to celebrate her birthday with her. She was sad because she hadn’t been able to tell him how much she loved him before he left the planet. The day he died, she had thought about it so often that it had dried out.

That’s why she wanted to go back to that moment again and again, because it was the only time when she knew everything was right in the world.
