“He walked into the spotlight. The crowd cheered. He waited. And then, with no warning, he let out a single, clear laugh. It came out of him like a floodgate bursting. High-pitched, joyous, real. He laughed until his face crumpled, until his knees gave way, until he collapsed to the floor. They thought it was the act. They laughed harder. Some stood. Some applauded. A child shouted, “Do it again!” But Bobo lay still. His rubber nose squeaked against the stage floor. His heart didn’t. The laughter swelled like an ocean, unknowing, unrelenting. The curtain dropped. Behind it, a small notebook fell from his jacket. It opened to a single scribbled line: “The joke was me.”

“Dreamt of you again last night. We were spooning, your arms tight around me. I could feel your breath on my neck, your hand on my hip. Your thoughts in my head. Your soul in my body. Love ripping through me all night like a storm. Desperate heartache ever since. Been telling everyone at the restaurant I have allergies to explain the tears. ... Miss you like the earth misses rain.”

“«Forse non mi interessa proprio, la lista di cose da fare prima di morire. Credo che quello che voglio sia vivere come al solito - sai, no, lavorare e andare a passeggio e guardare "Come Dine with Me" -, ma in una versione leggermente più carina. La vita normale, ma meglio. Chiamiamolo "normale plus".» «"Normale plus"» ripete Nick. «Mi piace. Puntiamo al normale plus in tutto quello che facciamo. perciò, quando andiamo al cinema, prendiamo dei biglietti leggermente migliori.» «Esatto. E mangiamo cose più buone di quelle che mangeremmo normalmente.»”
