• Qué extraño es. Tenemos estos terribles y profundos miedos persistentes sobre nosotros mismos y las personas que amamos. Sin embargo, caminamos, hablamos con la gente, comemos y bebemos.

Conducimos un coche, damos clase. ¿Cómo es que nadie ve lo profundamente asustados que estábamos, anoche, esta mañana? ¿Es algo que todos nos ocultamos de mutuo acuerdo? ¿O compartimos el mismo secreto sin saberlo? ¿Llevamos el mismo disfraz?
