“And I thought, I am in love. For the first time I am in love. And loved. Someone loves me. And I love them. And within me things clicked and whirled like the insides of some gigantic clock, cog against wheel, spring against spiral, tick against tock, and I knew that nothing would ever be the same again. I had shown someone what I really was. I had shown someone my truth, my secret. Out there, beyond the walls of the Castle, there was a boy who had seen inside my chrysalis. And I would never be safe again.”

“—Tu-dijiste que querías a-amistad. —Sí —dice, traga—. Lo hice. Lo hago. Yo quiero ser tu amigo. —Él asiente y me doy cuenta del ligero cambio en el aire entre nosotros—. Quiero ser el amigo que cae perdidamente enamorado. El que te tiene en sus brazos y en su cama y que en tu mundo privado se mantiene atrapado en tu cabeza. Yo quiero ser esa clase de amigo —dice—. El que va a memorizar las cosas que dices, así como la forma de tus labios cuando las dices. Quiero conocer cada curva, cada peca, cada estremecimiento de tu cuerpo, Juliette… —No. —Me quedo sin aliento—. N-no sé qué decir… No sé qué voy a hacer si él sigue hablando. No sé lo que voy a hacer y no confío en mí misma. —Quiero saber dónde tocarte —dice—. Quiero saber cómo tocarte. Quiero saber cómo convencerte para diseñar una sonrisa sólo para mí. —Siento su pecho subiendo, bajando, arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo—. Sí —dice—. Yo quiero ser tu amigo. —Él dice: —Quiero ser tu mejor amigo en el mundo entero.”
