"autumn and the falling of the leaf is the season of the year when maybe here or there a heart among Men may be open, and an eye perceive how is the world's estate fallen from the laughter and the loveliness of old. Think on Kortirion and be sad - yet is there not hope?"

My heart wrenched, but I shook my head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Frustration and a splash of panic tightened his features. “Why not?”
“There’re a thousand different reasons. You hate my family. You never wanted to get married, and you never wanted me. You were forced into it, and if we get together again, my father still wins. And…” Dryness coated my throat. “We’re not good together, Dante. Our relationship was so hot and cold, but we made it work because we had to make it work. Now that we don’t…” I searched for the right way to phrase my thoughts. “Things have been difficult since day one. Maybe it’s a sign.”
“That’s six reasons,” Dante said. “I can work with six. I can even work with a thousand.”
My chest ached. “Dante…”
“You don’t think we’re a good idea, but I’ll prove we are.” Determination lined his jaw, but his voice and lips were soft as they brushed my forehead. “Give me time, mia cara. That’s all I need, besides you.”

“You weren’t there?”
“Not really my scene.”
“But the free food?”
“Not worth the small talk.”
Maybe he was on a diet.
“We all did things we’re not proud of.” "You didn’t,” he said.“Didn’t I?” Tigris spoke with an uncharacteristic bitterness. “We all did. Maybe you were too little to remember. Maybe you didn’t know how bad it really was.”

“You offering me a job, or something?”
“Or something.”
What? The change of tune is enough to give me whiplash. I squint at him, trying to figure out what he’s playing at. Maybe it’s because my brain is damaged from the blow, but I can’t tell if he’s joking or not.
“Why do I feel like I’m about to get sex trafficked?”
Raphael lets out a short sigh. “I’m offended. All of my businesses are perfectly legitimate; thank you.”
"The name is Michael Marino."
I’ve heard the rumors. This man…he’s just as dangerous as them, maybe even more. I’ve heard about the Messina crime family from when the Bianchis talked about them, not knowing I was listening.

During my training, a supervisor once told me, “There’s something likable in everyone,” and to my great surprise, I found that she was right. It’s impossible to get to know people deeply and not come to like them.
"Not yet" mindset
When we are faced with a challenge that doesn't go necessarily the way we want it to, we can learn, grow and begin to get better at that versus a "fixed mindset" which says that's just how we're built, that's just the way it is. A "growth mindset" again opens to opportunity and one aspect of it, that I really with is this notion of "not yet". Just because of something that didn't go the way you want to, doen't mean it never will go the way you want. It just means "not yet". Maybe you don't have the skills, you don't have the practice but it means you can get there. So by adopting "not yet" mindset it helps us see things as opportunities to grow. So when you meet with a frustration in your life especially around communication, say to yourself "not yet".
