"Dia menyandarkan kepalanya ke kepalanya dan merasakan, untuk pertama kalinya, apa yang sering dia rasakan bersamanya: afeksi diri. Dia membuatnya seperti dirinya sendiri. Dengan dia, dia merasa nyaman; kulitnya terasa seakan itu ukurannya yang tepat .. Rasanya alami, untuk berbicara dengannya tentang hal-hal aneh. Dia belum pernah melakukan itu sebelumnya. Kepercayaan, begitu tiba-tiba namun begitu lengkap, dan keintiman, menakuti dia .. Tapi sekarang dia hanya bisa memikirkan semua hal yang dia ingin katakan kepadanya, ingin lakukan dengan dia."

She rested her head against his and felt, for the first time, what she would often feel with him: a self-affection. He made her like herself. With him, she was at ease; her skin felt as though it was her right size.. It seemed so natural, to talk to him about odd things. She had never done that before. The trust, so sudden and yet so complete, and the intimacy, frightened her.. But now she could think only of all the things she yet wanted to tell him, wanted to do with him.
