Re: Theodore/Hugh
The time and distance might provide the space you need for things to right themselves. I hope they do.
It has shaped me to an extent, but I've been shaped more by love, I suppose. As corny as that sounds. I am certainly not the boy Jamie first met - he was an intolerable little shit, I promise you.
As for you, you don't strike me as particularly cynical. Or is that only as far as love and relationships are concerned?
