Does it seem a bit morbid to you? Are you disgusted by the image of a well-kept old man who takes a law student around and sells her to various people? I don't care about your opinion! We were having a great time. We felt a bit like children who have found a way to get in and out of adults' lives and disrupt them. We knew that as long as we had each other... As long as we had each other... You can certainly suspect my only fear. That one day Roula would meet someone who'd manage to truly charm her and overturn the rules of our game. I made her promise me that, if such a thing ever happened, she would not sugarcoat it, and she would disappear instantaneously and never show signs of life again.
And yet -as strange as it may seem to you- she trembled at exactly the same possibility.
