"What about Rand, I asked. It’s OVER she said. The point of what someone says at such a moment is not whether you believe them or not. In life you already know. A lot of romance is just the swapping of alibis. So if she says, “it’s over,” what she means is later, when this becomes a mess, you can blame her. I thought it was over, she’ll protest. And you will be out there holding that skinny line like a dead snake. You believed a kid. Is that what you want?"
