Quote by Orson Scott Card
She did not send for him until she was afraid; she was not afraid until he undid her work; he did not undo her work until he was past loving her.
Summary
This quote suggests a sequence of events in a relationship. The subject notices that someone doesn't call upon them until a certain level of fear arises within the individual. This fear could stem from a threat posed by the other person. However, the threat is not realized until the person undoes the subject's efforts or work. It is at this point that the subject realizes that the other person is no longer in love with them, as the undoing of their work signifies a lack of care or investment in the relationship.
