"Aku pergi, dengan teman-temanku mengawasiku pergi, mereka semua berkelompok di tudung Lissa. Ketika saya berhenti di jalan, saya melirik ke kaca spion dan melihat mereka: mereka melambaikan tangan, bergerak di udara, suara mereka nyaring, memanggil saya. Kuadrat cermin itu seperti bingkai, memegang gambar mereka yang berpamitan, mendorongku ke depan, sebelum bergeser dengan lembut dari pandangan, inci demi inci, ketika aku berbalik."

I drove off, with my friends watching me go, all of them grouped on Lissa's hood. As I pulled onto the road, I glanced into the rearview and saw them: they were waving, hands moving through the air, their voices loud, calling out after me. The square of that mirror was like a frame, holding this picture of them saying good-bye, pushing me forward, before shifting gently out of sight, inch by fluid inch, as I turned away.
