...perspectives are different. I can't switch off like you. I don't have your innate belief that everything is going to be ok. That's why I am not the most diligent worker. I'm tortured by thoughts that it's all a waste of time. You can get past that. You believe in the status quo. Because I don't, I never felt you were on my side. And because of that, I couldn't offer you simplicity. I could never come home and just say I'd had a nice day. I could never reassure you as I was too distracted to think of the right words.

I hope you find what you are looking for. What you deserve.

John never heard from Sophie after that. But he did hear about her. Six months later she was engaged. When he heard this news, John smiled. He hadn't damaged her. She had been able to move on.
He felt righteous once more.
