Los ves elevarse por el viento y les aseguras que algún día volarán.

  Which learned chemists much affect;
  It is a party-coloured dress
  Of patch'd and piebald languages:

  Like fustian heretofore on satin.

• ¿Qué se suponía que debía ser yo, creciendo en tu vientre, suponiendo que fuera en nuestro vientre donde fui concebido? ¿Una semilla de esperanza? ¿Un billete comprado para sacarte de la oscuridad? ¿Un parche para ese agujero que llevabas en el corazón? Si es así, entonces yo no era suficiente. No fui suficiente. No era un bálsamo para tu dolor, sólo otro callejón sin salida, otra carga, y debiste darte cuenta desde el principio. Debiste darte cuenta. ¿Pero qué podías hacer? No podías ir a la casa de empeños y venderme.

  Khaled Hosseini

• Habría estado tentada de golpearle en la mandíbula si no me hubiera cogido por los hombros y me hubiera inmovilizado contra la pared. Apenas quedaba espacio entre nosotros, apenas un fino límite de aire, pero Patch consiguió eliminarlo. "Seamos sinceros, Nora. Me la tienes jurada". Sus ojos tenían mucha profundidad. "Y yo lo tengo mal por ti". Se inclinó hacia mí y puso su boca sobre la mía. Mucho de él estaba en mí, en realidad. Nos tocamos en varios puntos estratégicos de nuestros cuerpos, y necesité toda mi fuerza de voluntad para separarme.

• My mom's coming home soon," I said. "We should go to your place." Patch ran a hand across the shadow of stubble along his jaw. "I have rules about who I take there." I was getting really tired of that answer. "If you showed me, you'd have to kill me?" I guessed, fighting the urge to feel irritated. "Once I'm inside, I can never leave?" Patch studied me a moment. Then he reached into his pocket, twisted a key off his key chain, and slipped it into the front pocket of my pajama top. "Once you've gone inside, you have to keep coming back.

• I tilted my chin up a fraction. "You can't f-force me to stay here." I'd only agreed to come this far because I didn't want to stand out in the downpour, for one, and I had high hopes of finding a phone, for two. "That sounded more like a question than a statement," said Patch. "Then ans-s-swer it." His rogue smile crept out. "It's hard to concentrate on answers with you looking like that." I glanced down at Patch's black shirt, wet and clinging to my body. I brushed past him and shut the bathroom door between us.
