But if they — my father and mother —had loved me a little more, I would have been able to feel more — to feel real sadness, for example." 
"Do you think you weren't loved enough?" 
She tilted her head and looked at me. Then she gave a sharp, little nod. 
"Somewhere between "not enough' and "not at all'. I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it — to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more.

So I made up my mind I was going to find someone who would love me uncon-ditionally 365 days a year. I was still in primary school at the time, but I made up my mind once and for all."
