“(...) lo que parecía prometedor se termina de repente, normalmente porque uno de ellos no dice algo que podría evitar que el otro se vaya”

“El menor pensamiento o alusión a ella volvían a desencadenar el llanto. Todavía llora, a veces, cuando piensa en ella. Piensa en ella muchas veces al día. Si dijera veinte, treinta veces al día, ¿ella le creería? Y sueña con ella casi todas las noches. Comenzó un cuaderno de espiral, al que llama "Mi libro de sueños", con sueños solo sobre ella.”
