"Anda menggerakkan kepala saya sehingga berbaring di pangkuan Anda. "Buka matamu," katamu. "Tetap bersamaku." Saya mencoba. Rasanya seperti saya menggunakan setiap otot di wajah saya. Tapi saya berhasil. Saya melihat Anda dari terbalik, bibir Anda di atas mata saya dan mata Anda di atas bibir saya. "Bicaralah padaku," katamu. Tenggorokan saya terasa seperti menutup, seolah-olah kulit saya membengkak, membuat tenggorokan saya bengkak. Aku mencengkeram tanganmu. "Terus awasi aku, kalau begitu," katamu. "Terus dengarkan."
