""If you wanted to kidnap someone, what would you use?" she asked Amit. They were lying in bed, with the lights off. To knock them unconscious. So that you could drag them into the back of your van."
"Chloroform, I guess."
"Really?" She brightened. It made her happy that the person she was marrying would commit crimes in the same way as she would."

"If you were M. Pujol, Madeleine says, I would reach out my hand to you. Like this.
If you were M. Pujol, Adrien says, I would press my mouth against your pulse. Like this.
If you were he, she says, I would cup your chin in my fingers.
If you were he, he says, I would take those fingers into my mouth.
Then my mouth would envy my fingers, she says.
Then your mouth must usurp your fingers, he says.
And then, she says, I would do this.
