Monsieur (36 page)
Sometimes you pull a splinter out. Sometimes you are the splinter. Everything else is unimportant. All the rest is just a long process of falling out of love by which all little girls return to shores where they unlearn the pain, the compromise, the sacrifice, the torment. A place where grief is less poignant and pleasure is weaker.
