What small decision turned out
to change everything?

Most of the big turns in a life do not feel big at the time. You took the other job because it was nearer. You went to the party you nearly skipped. You said yes to a lift, sat in a different seat, answered an advert on a whim.

Nobody hears music at those moments. It is an ordinary Tuesday, and you are deciding something you will have forgotten by Friday.

It is only years later, looking back, that you can see the whole road bending at that one spot. A friendship, a marriage, a town you have lived in ever since, all hanging on something you barely thought about.

So — what small decision turned out to change everything?
