“He never listened to her, always just assumed she wanted the same thing as him.”
Ruth Heald, The New Girl

“There were still things her mother liked to buy herself. Mainly sweet thing: Bourbons, Haribo, Flake bars. Her mother delighted in them all. After years of always eating healthily and often too busy on her shifts as a nurse to find time to eat, as an older adult she had developed a sweet tooth. Hayley had learnt to stop repeating her mother's own words about healthy eating back to her; she didn't want to begrudge her any pleasure as her health deteriorated.”
Ruth Heald, The Nanny

“always”
Ruth Heald, The New Girl
