"Driving, with the top down, I’m reminded that I too can shift gears, face risk, handle inconvenience — and survive tragedy. My partner, eyes misting, says: 'You love that car. And your husband was an extraordinary man.'"
#2 | 08/12/2021The Night Girl Finds a Day Boy3.3/5 (with 2 votes)
"I'm a vampire, basically — going to bed around 8 or 9 a.m. and waking around 4 or 5 p.m. First dates usually go OK because they’re in the evening, but complications quickly arise."
#3 | 08/12/2021Strangers on a (Dublin) Train4.2/5 (with 3 votes)
"We met on a train. A perfect, flirtatious, six hours. The beginning of our love story? Trusting in the power of the universe, we hadn’t exchanged mobile numbers. Sometimes, a romantic plan isn’t enough."
#4 | 08/12/2021A Life Plan for Two, Followed By One4.4/5 (with 3 votes)
"He was everything a 10-year-old girl could ever hope for in a man. It was decided; I was in love. I started to wonder if the glow from my wedding dress would make him look washed-out. I began devising a plan in which he and I would end up '2gether 4ever,' as all my notebooks stated."
#5 | 08/12/2021Am I ...? Maybe This Quiz Will Tell Me2.8/5 (with 2 votes)

"A few months later, I was in the psychologist’s reception room, paying for my fourth really good cry, when a woman carrying a child walked in. I didn’t recognize her at first, and then I remembered her face. 'Are you the wife of the guy my wife is having an affair with?' I asked tactlessly. 'Yeah,' she said. 'But we’re not together anymore.'"
#7 | 08/12/2021How Do You Remember Me?3.5/5 (with 2 votes)
"I don’t remember his last name. He was handsome, with a nice smile and startlingly blue eyes. The sex was good, I think. We didn’t know each other well. We never would."
#8 | 08/12/2021A Second Embrace, with Hearts and Eyes Open4.3/5 (with 2 votes)
"On this night, long after we had thrown in the towel on us, here we were again, crawling back into the ring. This time, though, it would be different. We just never imagined how different it would become, or how quickly."
