“Even if we both survive, I won't enforce my claim on you," I said desperately. "In fact, the first thing I'll do is drop you back at that bordello in Poland and order you a new carnival orgy, promise!"

And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.”
