“But now she was different. Now she was happy with herself, her life, and she didn’t think of companionship in terms of convenience - she thought of it in terms of who she wanted to share her life with. She realized companionship was not something you should crave because you’re scared of being lonely, but something that depends on the person you’re calling your companion. She realized it was only the idea of him she loved.”
