“I hate it, all of this," I screamed, my voice breaking. "I even hate him, even him." A huge sob came up from my chest.
And I did, right then. I hated you for everything; for making me feel so helpless everywhere I went, for making me lose control. I hated you for all the emotions in my head, for the confusion... for the way I was suddenly doubting everything. I hated you for turning my life upside down and then smashing it into shards. I hated you for making me stand with a whirring fan in my hand, screaming at my mum.
But I hated you for something else, too. Right then, and at every moment since you'd left me, all I could think about was you. I wanted you in that apartment. I wanted your arms around me, your face close to mine. I wanted your smell. And I knew I couldn't-shouldn't-have it. That's what I hated most. The uncertainty of you. You'd kidnapped me, put my life in danger... but I loved you, too. Or thought I did. None of it made sense.”

“Qué pregunta, ¿conoces a Emiliano? Al que dejó de contestarme el teléfono y escribe poesía urbana en su tuiter, no, a ése no lo conozco. Al que va por toda la colonia Condesa de la mano de la rubita que sale en su película, a ese tampoco. Pero sí lo conozco, como si nunca se hubiera ido, porque me quiso tanto y fuimos tan del otro como ahora somos del espacio en el que nos olvidamos.”

“For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home.”
