“Vadim inhaled, but couldn’t form words, struggled with translating soldier concepts into something civilians could understand. Dan moved into the breach. “Violence, Duncan. I’m afraid we didn’t meet under a full moon with roses and a bottle of wine. We were set on killing each other. Just … that it didn’t work out like that.”

“Dan wanted to cry out, or scream and yell and destroy with fists and boots. Anything, anything at all to break through the onslaught of emotions, but all he had was his lips, two arms, and one hand. Tongue, teeth, as well, and the most gut-wrenching sensation of feeling, physical, mental, gathering deep in his guts, spreading and searing through his body, traveling across blood. ‘Vadim’, it hammered through his being, ‘Vadim. Alive. Vadim.’ And he was lost.”

We were both tired but we smiled at each other, and I felt a kind of happiness growing inside me. It was good to look across the table and see someone, and I thought maybe it was time to start thinking about that again—about finding someone. Sharing my life maybe.

“Kako smo bespomoćni za besanih noći! Izručeni glupim mislima koje bi naša budna pamet odmah dokrajčila, beznadnosti protiv koje se danju borilo sitnim uspjesima s pranjem rublja, parkiranjem automobila ili tješenjem prijatelja, tuzi kojoj prkosimo iscrpljujući se tenisom, rekordima u trčanju ili dizanju utega. U besanim noćima uključujemo televizor ili se laćamo neke knjige, ne da bismo tako lakše zaspali, nego da bi nam se nad slikama ili stranicama samo sklopile oči mi opet postali žrtva glupih misli, beznađa i tuge.”
