Chapter 26

• Anna.
• The things that are welling up inside me terrify me. It's been many years since I felt so full, so complete, so alive... It's simply Henry who does this to me, and that's what terrifies me. I now know that I can never look at him and feel nothing. From the moment we first saw each other again, I knew he would turn my life upside down. And now, as the Anna who once felt this sea of emotions, I know he's done it again. And you know what? I'd like to say I'm sad about it, but the truth is, I love it... And I shouldn't.
• I love and missed so much the feeling of his entire skin against mine. That's why I'm crying, out of fear that I may never feel it again. I'm scared he might leave me again. I'm terrified because I can endure his departure once, but I don't think I can bear it twice. I can love him, I can not want to be apart from him, but I'm sure I can't trust him. I will never be able to. And without trust, what can we do? Where will we end up?
