At the end of this book Salander realizes she’s in love with Blomkvist and goes over to tell him when she sees him with Erika. She becomes very upset and throws away the flowers she had for him and goes home. This part breaks my heart because Salander is such a closed person. She steps out of her comfort zone and tries to reach out to Blomkvist, only to be scared off by the reality of things.
I am aware that this is a book but I can’t help but relate it to reality. If only she went to tell Blomkvist at a different time when he wasn’t with Erika, if only she was a minute sooner or a minute later things might have been different.
In life I am always thinking about WHAT IF… what if you didn’t call so and so, what if you went on that trip or what if you had stayed home. What if your future spouse drives past you everyday to work, what if you had the courage to tell that person you love them. Would things be different? Is our destiny already written or does each little thing we do change the outcome of our future?
