Summary
“New York?” She sits up, her voice jumping an octave, “I—you’re coming here? Today?”
“Yes. Isn’t that what I just said? For Christmas. You’d know this if you ever answered your phone.” There’s an impatient sigh that crackles against the receiver and then, “Helen, I know you prefer not to have to spend any time with your actual family, but you don’t need to be rude.”
Helen rolls her eyes. “Mum, I’m not being rude. I’m just…surprised, I—“
“I don’t know why you would be. You told me last week that you couldn’t make it back to London for Christmas because of this...partner of yours and work and—well, it seemed a reasonable decision to make. Besides, if you’re spending Christmas together, it must be serious. I’m looking forward to meeting him.”

Summary
Truth be told, most days Helen has to pretend she doesn’t know why she left. Has to pretend really hard actually. Because the easiest lies are always the ones people tell themselves and there’s no graceful lie to be told about not knowing how to pick up the pieces of something she never had. Or not understanding how to move on and not knowing where to go.
It makes sense.
"I love you" doesn’t fit inside old hospital walls, writhing alone in the cold and dark of crushed steel, for people already spoken for.

Summary
"And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” – Haruki Murakami
This is life after the storm.

Summary
We did not ask for this room or this music. We were invited in. Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces to the light. Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty. We have been given pain to be astounded by joy. We have been given life to deny death. We did not ask for this room or this music. But because we are here, let us dance. - Stephen King

Summary
She’d always wanted kids of her own, but unfortunately to no avail her attempts at getting pregnant were futile. After that she lost hope of ever being able to have the chance of hearing someone call her ‘mommy’, of having a child who she could love implicitly. That is until she began dating Max. While she didn’t intend on having kids with Max any time soon, as their relationship started to grow, it seemed as if they had all began to become a quaint little family — something that she had always wanted.
