“Fuck you."
"Promise?”
Carole Cummings

William Goldman
“-Te amo -le dijo Buttercup-. Sé que esto debe resultarte sorprendente, puesto que lo único que he hecho siempre ha sido mofarme de tí, degradarte y provocarte, pero llevo ya varias horas amándote, y cada segundo que pasa te amo más. Hace una hora, creí que te amaba más de lo que ninguna mujer ha amado nunca a un hombre; media hora más tarde, supe que lo que había sentido entonces no era nada comparado con lo que sentí después. Mas al cabo de diez minutos, comprendí que mi amor anterior era un charco comparado con el mar embravecido antes de la tempestad. A eso se parecen tus ojos, ¿lo sabías? Pues sí. ¿Cuántos minutos hace de eso? ¿Veinte? ¿Serían mis sentimientos tan encendidos entonces? No importa. -Buttercup no podía morarlo. El sol comenzó a asomar entonces a sus espaldas y le infundió valor -. Ahora te amo más que hace veinte minutos, tanto que no existe comparación posible. Te amo mucho más en este momento que cuando abriste la puerta de tu choza. En mi cuerpo no hay sitio más que para tí. Mis brazos te aman, mis orejas te adoran, mis rodillas tiemblan de ciego afecto. Mi mente te suplica que le pidas algo para que pueda obedecerte. ¿Quieres que te siga para el resto de tus días? Lo haré. ¿Quieres que me arrastre? Me arrastraré. Por tí me quedaré callada, por tí cantaré, y si tienes hambre, deja que te traiga comida, y si tienes sed y sólo el vino árabe puede saciarla, iré a Arabia, aunque esté en el otro confín del mundo, y te traeré una botella para el almuerzo. Si hay algo que sepa hacer por tí, lo haré; y si hay algo que no sepa, lo aprenderé. Pero recuera, por favor, que ella es vieja y tiene otros intereses, mientras que yo tengo diecisiete años y para mí sólo existes tú. Mi querido Westley... nunca te había llamado por tu nombre, ¿verdad...? Westley, Westley, Westley, Westley... querido Westley, adorado Westley, mi dulce, mi perfecto Westley, dime en un susurro que tendré la oportunidad de ganarme tu amor.”
William Goldman, The Princess Bride
