Mostly she just missed Vaughn. Missed all those quiet, unspectacular moments that, when added up, showed how entwined their lives had become. And right now, she missed being able to phone him, because it would be so easy to tap in the eleven digits that would put his voice on the line. Grace, about bloody time, hed say, and make it sound like an endearment.But she couldnt call Vaughn, because shed left him. Which was a novelty, until Grace remembered that hed have left her eventually if she hadnt done it first. She was never the one. She was never even the one before the one. She was the girl who seemed like a good idea at the time, but ultimately was just a phase that people went through.That was the way it had always been. Friends and lovers came and went because there was something about her which repelled them, and she didnt have a clue what it was. It was a mystery that she couldnt solve on her own, and there wasnt a single person in the world who could help . . .
