Do you see the Field of Mars, where I walked next to my bride in her white wedding dress, with red sandals in her hands, when we were kids?โ โI see it well.โ โWe spent all our days afraid it was too good to be true, Tatiana,โ said Alexander. โWe were always afraid all we had was a borrowed five minutes from now.โ Her hands went on his face. โThatโs all any of us ever has, my love,โ she said. โAnd it all flies by.โ โYes,โ he said, looking at her, at the desert, covered coral and yellow with golden eye and globe mallow. โBut what a five minutes itโs been.
Paullina SimonsPlease stop looking at me, she thought, afraid of his eyes and terrified of her own heart.
Paullina SimonsShura, Iโm yours. You may not like it today, you may not want it tonight, you may wish for it all to be different now, but it remains, and I remain, as always, only yours. Nothing can change that. Not your wrath, your fists, your body or your death.
Paullina SimonsI was blinded by stupidity for a brief moment in our life, for a flicker in the eternity in which you and I live, and I stumbled.
Paullina SimonsAsk yourself these three questions, Tatiana Metanova, and you will know who you are. Ask: What do believe in? What do you hope for? What do you love?
Paullina SimonsTania,โ he whispers, โpromise me you wonโt forget me when I die.โ โYou wonโt die, soldier,โ she says. โYou wonโt die. Live! Live on, breathe on, claw onto life, and do not let go. Promise me you will live for me, and I promise you, when youโre done, I will be waiting for you.โ She is sobbing. โWhenever youโre done, Alexander, I will be here, waiting for you.
