I found your essay because I'm currently wrapping up a read-a-long of The Age of Innocence over on my Substack, and I wondered if anyone else had written about that miraculous line: Each time you happen to me all over again.

I love your reading of the line so much, as well as how you write about it becoming stitched onto your heart. I haven't forgotten the line since the first time I read it, and I was so incredibly moved by your love story. I am so happy that, unlike Newland Archer, you did not stay in a loveless marriage and instead sought the person who happens to you over and over again.
