And as a brief postscript to yesterday's comments on Valentine's Day I found this quotation from Harper Lee unbelievably in my morning reading -
Scout had just heard that Dill was not coming for the summer and she mused to herself -
"With him life was routine, without him, life was unbearable."
...which became my Valentine of yesterday!
So often, when it comes to romance, people put the emphasis on magic, fireworks, flashy manifestations of one kind or another, when really what you want most is routine, someone to depend upon, a steady background for whatever else is going on.
Framework.
