“SHE CAN’T SEEM to stop writing to David. She continues to write long emails to him every week. The only difference is that she no longer sends them to him. The messages from David gradually become more and more infrequent, as if he’s about to forget. David doesn’t need Rakel. He has a busy family life, with kids and a wife who love him. Why has Rakel been equipped with so much love if there’s nobody out there in need of it?
Other people have a life. They forget. They don’t lie under the covers like her, collecting moments. Yet again, she’s just a tiny morsel of someone else’s life—while he’s almost her entire world. Why does she think that people love her more than they actually do? Because she loves them so much? Because love believes and trusts in everything?”
