For his thirtieth birthday he had filled a whole night-club off Regent Street; people had been queuing on the pavement to get in. The SIM card of his mobile phone in his pocket was overflowing with telephone numbers of all the hundreds of people he had met in the last ten years, and yet the only person he had ever wanted to talk to in all that time was standing now in the very next room.

About This Quote

The SIM card of his mobile phone in his pocket was overflowing with telephone numbers of all the hundreds of people he had met in the last ten years, and yet the only person he had ever wanted to talk to in all that time was standing now in the very next room, waiting for him. On his thirtieth birthday he decided to put down all the names and telephone numbers of all the hundreds of people he had met over a decade. He knew that once he got to this point he would know exactly who to call when it was time for him to be truly happy.
