Something was missing. I couldn't tell you what it was if you asked but it was off. And if you think of a relationship as a living entity, I guess it's one thing if the missing two percent is, like, a fingernail. But when it's the heart, that's a whole different ball of wax.
In the narrative of "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, the protagonist reflects on a sense of incompleteness in a relationship. This feeling is described as an indescribable gap that can't easily be pinpointed. The comparison of the missing element to a small part, like a fingernail, versus something vital like the heart, underscores the significance of the absence in the relationship.
This metaphor illustrates that while minor issues may be manageable, a fundamental lack can lead to serious consequences. The emotional weight of the missing aspect highlights the complexity of human connections and the critical need for every component to be in place for a relationship to thrive.
