“But still I was lonely. It was Boris that I missed, the whole impulsive mess of him: gloomy, reckless, hot-tempered, appallingly thoughtless. Boris pale and pasty, with his shoplifted apples and his Russian language novels, gnawed down fingernails and shoelaces dragging in the dust.

I hit him at very close range through the blankets, and then he lay back, and a big pink bubble with juvenile connotations formed on his lips, grew to the size of a toy balloon, and vanished.”

“Oh, but she never wanted James to grow a day older or Cam either. These two she would have liked to keep for every just as they were, demons of wickedness, angels of delight, never to see them grow up into long-legged monsters. [...] touching his hair with her lips, she thought, he will never be so happy again”
