I know it's just fiction, but I want what Fortier has with "Boss": love and protection. I lived all my life offering it to mom, my daughters, and most of my past men except one, the only one who was strong enough to BE my protector for once - and this felt good. I don't want him back; he's been the one that made me eventually land here. But I'd like the love and protection back someday. To feel again like I'm someone's precious thing they want to guard against the world. Like Carol's mom says in As Good As It Gets, "Everybody wants that, dear. It doesn't exist."
