All the tiny things made this mammoth union up, all the times he had picked her up from Sutherland station, made her chicken salad rolls and brought her a Lipton's iced tea, called her about Sunday and fixed Nina's shed door hinge, held her and not fucked her when she was dying with period pain, thought of what she said last night and made something of it the following afternoon, all these unspectacular deposits of love he had made and they were the currency, earning enough to have her see that he was nothing but the right one.

About This Quote

A. A. Milne said, "All the tiny things made this mammoth union up." This means that everything that is small can make a big thing. When you love someone, you don't always have to do big things to show it. Sometimes, it's as simple as picking them up on the way to work and bringing them a cup of coffee on the way home.
