"Seeing someone you used to love is like visiting a house you once lived in. Everything about them is familiar yet strange. The greater the distance between you, the more unbelievable they seem. Maybe I have always been involved in some kind of fieldwork."

"I suppose it is possible that one day we will meet again and it will feel as if nothing ever happened between us."
- Maggie Nelson, Bluets

- Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under The Sea
