“Cerró los ojos.
Y le vinieron imágenes de Chauncey escondido debajo de su cama aquella primera mañana, de Talia sentada en el suelo de la tienda de discos con sus herramientas, de Theodore cogiendo los botones como si fueran el mejor regalo del mundo, de Phee recogiendo a un Sal tembloroso de entre un montón de ropa, de Lucy llorando después de romper sus discos, de Zoe dándole la bienvenida a su hogar.
Y, por supuesto, de la sonrisa de Arthur. Aquella sonrisa tranquila, hermosa, que le producía el mismo efecto que ver el mar por primera vez.”

“Pretty fucking tragic twist of fate, but you don’t seem to remember that we first met years ago. An issue, since I remember a little too well. I like no one, absolutely no one, but I liked you from the start. I liked you when I didn’t know you, and now that I do know you it’s only gotten worse. Sometimes, often, always, I think about you before falling asleep. Then I dream of you, and when I wake up my head’s still there, stuck on something funny, beautiful, filthy, intelligent that’s all about you. It’s been going on for a while, longer than you think, longer than you can imagine, and I should have told you, but I have this impression, this certainty that you’re half a second from running away, that I should give you enough reasons to stay. Is there anything I can do for you? I’ll take you grocery shopping and fill your fridge when we’re back home. Buy you a new bike and a case of decent reagent and that sludge you drink. Kill the people who made you cry. Is there something you need? Name it. It’s yours. If I have it, it’s yours.”

“Es curioso cómo funciona eso, ¿no? Descubrimos las cosas más insospechadas cuando ni siquiera las estamos buscando.”
