she spent her life breaking the hearts of men, making them want her and doing as she pleased with them before tossing them out of her life with little regard for them as a person. But she did it to men who were unreliable, disreputable, and as atrocious as she was. When she met a man who was kind, patient, and reliable, she found that her tricks did not work. Like a trapeze artist without gravity, she found that her maneuvers did not have the effects that she intended. He still stood there, with calm eyes and she felt a fool, in such a way that it was hard to bear. But as she came down from her high wire, because her tricks did not work, and he was still there; she found, with her feet on the ground that her heart worked and that she did not know what she had been missing from her wire perch up there. |
