"Sean meraih di antara kami dan meletakkan gelang tipis pita merah di atas tanganku yang bebas. Mengangkat lenganku, dia menekankan bibirnya ke bagian dalam pergelangan tanganku. Aku benar-benar diam; Saya merasakan denyut nadi saya beberapa kali menyentuh bibirnya, dan kemudian dia melepaskan tangan saya. "Untuk keberuntungan," katanya. Dia mengambil pimpinan Dove dari saya. "Sean," kataku, dan dia berbalik. Aku mengambil dagunya dan mencium bibirnya, keras. Aku teringat, tiba-tiba, tentang hari pertama di pantai, ketika aku menarik kepalanya dari air. "Untuk keberuntungan," kataku ke wajahnya yang terkejut."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Sean reaches between us and slides a thin bracelet of red ribbons over my free hand. Lifting my arm, he presses his lips against the inside of my wrist. I'm utterly still; I feel my pulse tap several times against his lips, and then he releases my hand. "For luck," he says. He takes Dove's lead from me. "Sean," I say, and he turns. I take his chin and kiss his lips, hard. I'm reminded, all of a sudden, of that first day on the beach, when I pulled his head from the water. "For luck," I say to his startled face.
