I heard good things about this and looked forward to it… but meh in my opinion. I hate that so many years later
neither of them have moved on and can instantly say “I love you” again. Also he just accepted that he’s not meant for more? What depressing lesson- yeah maybe he likes small town life and maybe he tried carpentry and didn’t like it which is okay!! But the way it was written about (granted it’s a short story), I just felt bad for this ungifted character.
