“She says they didn't marry for love and neither of them really tried to make it grow, they sort of just expected to love each other after a certain number of years but it didn't work out that way. All that happened was that she'd be having a nice day until she suddenly realized he'd be back from work in ten minutes, or he'd look at her during a gospel service and the sight of her seemed to get him all upset even though she was wearing a nice dress, and spotless gloves, and a smile.” — Helen Oyeyemi
