“It was an escape and a choice. I assumed I'd learn to switch off, read a lot, and find a way not to think quite so much. I hoped I'd eventually succeed. But what I didn't anticipate was you." She met Monique's eyes with fierceness. "Suddenly, I'm acutely aware of what I'll be missing out on. l'm accustomed to you now. I find that sensation to be so profound that I cannot work around it, There are no other paths to circumvent this, to satisfy my pragmatic nature. My options come down to only this: being with you or not being with you".

“O amor estava lá, naquela noite, no píer, três anos atrás, assim como existia agora, entre nós, em número e força. Foi ele quem não a deixou desaparecer para sempre. Agora, eu entendia que, naquela noite, ela não sumiu, nem foi embora. 
Na verdade, foi a partir daquele momento que ela se tornou absolutamente real.
Eu só precisava encontrá-la.
E eu a encontrei, ou a vida me permitiu reencontrar, só para vivermos, desta vez, da melhor maneira que podíamos: na realidade”

“But now I see the other door", she continued. "Another choice with you, I might exist in a way
I haven't before. You make me more substantial, Monique. Just by seeing me as you do, I don't fear I'll slip away, just dust on sand, lost. Gone. I would be
visible to the very end. Through your eyes, I feel
anchored. Whole and substantial. I'm a presence beyond my own shadow. So, yes, please, understand me well when I say: I am accustomed to you."

“I'm not scared of falling into darkness again, because I'll spend the rest of my existence basking in the afterglow of her love".”
