You have each other, thought Isabel.But was that enough? Even when one was in love, it was not really enough just to have the other person - not if one needed stimulation. The company of just one person could be reassuring, could stave off loneliness, but would it be enough for three months?
In "The Right Attitude to Rain," Isabel reflects on the complexities of love and companionship. While she acknowledges that having another person can provide comfort and alleviate loneliness, she questions whether this sense of security is sufficient in the long run. The idea that emotional fulfillment requires more than just one person resonates throughout her thoughts.
As Isabel contemplates their upcoming three-month separation, she considers the need for stimulation and engagement beyond mere companionship. This introspection highlights the intricate balance between love and the pursuit of deeper connections that can nourish one's spirit, suggesting that true satisfaction in relationships often demands more than just being together.
