"Mm..." Corbie nodded and thought about it more. After a long moment she
said, "That's hard. 'Cause you can say it'd work out like this, but
feelings are shitty and tangled and complicated. Am I not in love with that
man who came back anymore? Was I really in love with him in the first
place? Was there a reason we couldn't be together, and is that reason still
there? How long have I been with each of these men? Do any of these things
actually matter when you're in the thick of it? It ain't a question with a
logical answer, not for any of the people involved."
