"Aku meraih Prim di senja, menjepit tanganku di kakinya dan menarik diriku ke arahnya. Suaranya tetap stabil saat ia bersenandung ke Buttercup. "Tidak apa-apa, sayang, tidak apa-apa. Kita akan baik-baik saja di sana." Ibu saya memeluk kami. Aku membiarkan diriku merasa muda sesaat dan menyandarkan kepalaku di bahunya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I reach for Prim in the twilight, clamp my hand on her leg and pull myself over to her. Her voice remains steady as she croons to Buttercup. "It's all right, baby, it's all right. We'll be OK down there." My mother wraps her arms around us. I allow myself to feel young for a moment and rest my head on her shoulder.
