“Mantén su pensamiento lejos de las obligaciones más elementales, dirigiéndolo hacia las más elevadas y espirituales; sin descubrir ninguno de aquellos rasgos suyos que son evidentes para cualquiera. Que cada uno de ellos tenga algo así como un doble patrón de conducta. Tu paciente debe exigir que todo cuanto dice se tome en sentido literal, y que se juzgue simplemente por las palabras exactas, al mismo tiempo que juzga cuanto dice su madre tras la más minuciosa e hipersensible interpretación del tono, del contexto y de la intención que él sospecha. Y a ella hay que animarla a que haga lo mismo con él. De este modo, ambos pueden salir convencidos, o casi, después de cada discusión, de que son totalmente inocentes. Ya sabes como son estas cosas: “Lo único que hago es preguntarle a qué hora estará lista la cena, y se pone hecha una fiera”. Tendrás la deliciosa situación de un ser humano que dice ciertas cosas con el expreso propósito de ofender y, sin embargo, se queja de que se ofendan.”

“Deep blue water and emerald green islands capped by evergreen forests. Rocky bays and serene white ferries chugging past pods of orcas. A tiny town of quaint clapboard buildings painted in a rainbow of hues. A harbor clogged with bobbing sailboats. It looked idyllic, soaked in natural beauty. Serene. It was a world away from Paris, or Texas, for that matter. Georgia took the phone and studied the photos, mesmerized. She'd never seen anything like it. She felt a longing tug in her chest, something she couldn't quite articulate. Something was calling to her there. She had to go. Phoebe took her phone back and read avidly for a few minutes. "It says here that San Juan Island is known for pods of orcas, kayaking, a lavender farm, cidery, vineyard, shellfish farm, restaurants with Pacific Northwest cuisine, and farmers markets.”
