Quote preview background for Mindy McGinnis
Newness wears off.This is something I__e learned about relationships. I__e had more than a few run their course, the idiosyncrasies that were once endearing becoming annoying, the jump of my heart into my throat at the sight of her lessening to a skip, then a pause, then the bare recognition that at some point slips into dread, and you know it__ time to end it.It__ different with Alex. The newness might have faded, which is inevitable, but it__ grown into something better. The panic of not being able to come up with something to say to her has settled into the comfort of companionable silence, my hand resting on her knee, or her head on my chest. The frantic need to be near her and know how she feels has morphed into an almost pleasant ache of missing her when she__ not with me, because I know we__l be together again.
