• Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : [sitting down for a heart-to-heart]  I was a child yesterday, and now feel I'm being asked to explain the rest of my life on a ticking clock! If I make the wrong decision, I've either ruined my life or his. In books, characters just know. But this feels like something that I can't quite grasp. Does that mean I don't love him?

  Josephine Barry : I've never bought into that "you just know" notion. Love is a tricky thing. Sometimes it feels like an undeniable force that hits between the eyes and doesn't let up. Other times, it's malleable, questionable. It's truth hidden in and amongst external obstacles and internal circumstances that've formed who you are, what you expect in the world, and how you can accept love. Oh to say the least, it's complicated. And if a mind's abuzz with pressure and deadlines and "what if this and that," I imagine love's truth would be a near-impossible thing to feel. I wonder if, when all's quiet in your mind, you'll find your answer.

  Anne Shirley-Cuthbert : And what if by then it's too late? I suppose I'll have my tragical romance after all.
