"Akhirnya dia datang. Dia muncul tiba-tiba, persis seperti yang dia lakukan hari itu- dia melangkah ke bawah sinar matahari, dia melompat, dia tertawa dan melemparkan kepalanya ke belakang, sehingga kuncir kudanya yang panjang hampir menyerempet ikat pinggang jinsnya. Setelah itu, saya tidak bisa memikirkan hal lain. Tahi lalat di bagian dalam siku kanannya, seperti noda tinta yang gelap. Cara dia mencabik-cabik kukunya ketika dia gugup. Matanya, sedalam janji. Perutnya, pucat dan lembut dan indah, dan rongga gelap kecil dari pusarnya. Saya hampir menjadi gila."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Eventually she came. She appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. After that, I couldn't think about anything else. The mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. The way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. Her eyes, deep as a promise. Her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. I nearly went crazy.
