Reached for: Saccharine
“When this is finished, and it's good enough, then things will be different.”
Love is handled as a wage, with achievement stacked up on the belief that a sufficient quantity will finally release it. The arrangement came from parenting that never once issued a passing grade, so effort took the place of affection and the standard kept its distance. What it asks for is an hour of pleasure taken without having earned it.
Psyche, sorting the seeds and fetching the water, handed one impossible task after another for the right to be accepted. The form implies a task of stopping before the list is finished.
