Quote #1
I loved you and now here's back your stuff, out of my life like you belong, is the simile. (2.2)
It's important to Min to give Ed back his stuff. She thinks it'll help her feel a sense of closure.
Quote #2
The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up. (4.64)
Min never expected to fall in love with Ed, and he wasn't on her radar as a love interest until Al's birthday party. How quickly things can change.
Quote #3
Ed, it was everything, those nights on the phone, everything we said until late became later and then later and very late and finally to go to bed with my ear warm and worn and red from holding the phone close close close so as not to miss a word of what it was, because who cared how tired I was in the humdrum slave drive of our days without each other. I'd ruin any day, all my days, for those long nights with you, and I did. (11.105)
In some ways, Min and Ed lead a double life. When they're alone together, things seem perfect, but in the "real world," out and about among their friends, complications arise.
