In Which There Was Misfortune

Nick and I have had some time to get to know one other, and I must say that I like him a lot. Miranda commented, "I'm ready to guess that in all this time, you haven't encountered anybody who could love you the way that you treat other people."

"I have a strong suspicion that you are not even acquainted with the idea of love," the speaker said. I was never touched by the fact that you were limited to a wheelchair, and despite the fact that I wanted to be there, you don't even love yourself. I was never moved by the fact that you were confined to a wheelchair. How was it ever possible for you to feel love for me in the past? And here we are, John, in the present day. The sequence of events that took place today could have been more seamless. If it weren't for the fact that you seem to harbor a grudge against everyone, it's possible that we would have gotten along as well as old friends.
