Time After Time by Sue Haasler

Surprisingly --- this book is a nice read.

Excerpts:

1. And let's face it, no man is. They look perfect at the time but if you could see them a couple of years down the time, you'd find they were destined to go wrong one way or the other.

2. But I'd finally realized I'd spent the whole of my life just letting things happen to me and then reacting to them. Good things or bad things, it didn't matter: hardly anything in my life had happened because I made it happen. Not this time. Hard as it was, this was at least my decision.

3. I'd almost managed to convinced myself that I didn't care if I never saw him again. If I didn't care, I wouldn't get hurt. It was such a thin veneer of not-caring that the only way I could maintain it was not to think about him at all. Anytime his name or his face floated into my mind, I shoved them ruthlessly away. I was getting quite good at it --- it was almost like a form of meditation. And now this.
