Fan needing help

Comment:

So I may sound CRAZY when I say this, but I figured the Author of my Favorite book series could help me. I LOVE the Alice series, but for some reason I’m going thru a strange period in my teen life where I’m in love with romance stories and Alice and Patrick are my fav couple in the world. No offense, because you’re a great author but lately I don’t like reading Alice Alone anymore or Simply Alice simply because it puts a heavy weight on my heart that’s extremely hard to get rid of because Alice and Patrick are no longer together, I have to keep reassuring myself that in the end, Patrick and Alice ended up together, Were in love and happy, had two kids and even a grandson but for some reason I can’t get this bad feeling to go away, for me Alice & Patrick feel real and mean a lot to me. I want my brain and heart to accept the fact that Patrick and Alice lived happily ever after together so I can read other stuff without worrying about them. What should I do? Thx

Well, one thing you could do is read the last book in the series, “Now I’ll Tell You Everything..”  and you will be happy and able to sleep at night if you will accept the fact that no matter how much a couple love each other, much of their life together is routine, hum drum;  they do not fall all over each other  when they are standing side by side at the sink brushing their teeth.  Patrick does not tell Alice how beautiful she is every morning when she first wakes up.  Alice does not delight in picking up the clothes he dumps on a chair.  But they can’t wait for the other  one to return from a trip, and enjoy the prolonged kiss when they are together again  They worry when the other one gets sick and will make that midnight drive to the pharmacy to pick up medication.  They do not tell their friend things that go on between them that would embarrass their partner.  Love is loyalty and kindness as much as it is passion.
