Summary
There is a moment, when everything in a relationship changes.
A sudden tilt of its axis, a gentle shift in the air’s temperature. She hopes to land on its warmer side, but far too often she’s felt that brutal drop into the deepest cold. So much so, that she doesn’t quite remember what it’s like to be flushed with a heat so safe.
That moment, she thinks, must be long forgotten by those ruling her universe.

Summary
Rupert was self-conscious about many things, actually, and he took it out on her, made her feel the same. Her self-consciousness had become a habit over all their years together. So greedy, he’d tell her when she dared to be unsatisfied after sex, his lip curling in that humorless smile, the one honed to a razor’s edge that always sliced her down. She learned not to ask for more. She learned to hide anything too honest, too crass, too authentic that he might use to make her feel cheap.
Sitting here in her kitchen, though, years removed from divorce--from Rupert--her perspective colored the memory differently. How had she learned to be embarrassed to ask for more, when Rupert was never embarrassed to be perpetually inadequate?
----
Rebecca learns that some words she once hated from Rupert might feel pretty different from Ted.
