"I'm sure you will. I know you will, in fact. What I'm not so sure of is how long it lasts. People grow and change, and Godric, it's beautiful. But they don't always change with you. Sometimes, they're not right for you anymore, no matter how much you love them. I don't even think its possible to be in love forever anymore. You know, when you're a kid you think a knight in a white horse will come and you'll live happily ever after, and it just doesn't work like that. Merlin... What am I doing, Gin?"
She turned away from her friend and just walked out of the room. She didn't know what to do with herself any more. But she wasn't happy.
Instinctively knowing that Ginny was following her, she added, "I never thought my life would ever be like this."

Virigina followed June back into the living room. "I never thought love was a fairy tale," she said slowly, watching her friend worriedly. "Maybe that's why I've always held back and never really let myself fall in love with anyone... Love takes work to maintain. Of course people grow and change, but the only way love can last is if both people grow together... their roots become so entwined that they can't be separated. I have a sculpture like that downstairs... it's a heart where the two halves are joined together at the bottom by roots. I call it True Love."
Sensing that her friend needed support, Virginia walked over and put her arms around June. "I know some people say that love is painful, but I don't think it should be. If you're not happy, you shouldn't stay with him."

June couldn't help but put her arms around Virginia in return. She was scared and hurting, and she didn't know what to do. She was definitely not living the fairytale she always dreamed of, but she wasn't ready to admit this she didn't want this, either.
"He makes me happy," she defended, and she wasn't lying. Talon had his moments where he was sweet and tender and everything she dreamed of. And then... then he had his moments that made her feel like this. "Maybe I just don't know what I want... and I don't realize what a good thing I have right now."

Virginia frowned, then pulled away from June to look at her friend seriously. The truth was painfully obvious to her, but she didn’t know how to tell her. Yes, she could well believe that June didn’t know what she wanted—who did, really, when it came down to it? People often claimed that they wanted certain qualities in a mate, but they very often went for someone quite different. But Virginia didn’t believe that Talon really made June happy, at least, not all the time. And it seemed to Virginia that it was Talon who did not realize what a good thing he had.
But again, who was Virginia to give love advice? She had never been in love, or even lust. She had no experience in any of this, and she couldn’t even say what she wanted. Maybe if she just had one passionate fling she would understand all of this better, but in her mind she simply couldn’t understand the appeal of being with someone who treated her badly.
“Does anyone really know what they want?” she asked. “I mean, I think we’re really all just muddling along… sometimes we stay in a situation that isn’t right for us because we’re afraid of change…”
