upper middle class suburb in the state of Connecticut, perhaps an hour or two outside
of New York City. ...

that I can’t take it, and my heart is just going to cave in. ...
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but
it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. ...
