David Mitchell Quote
Two thoughts walked into my place. The first thought said that we hadn’t slept together because sex would have closed an entrance behind us and opened an exit ahead of us. The second thought told me quite clearly what to do. Maybe Takeshi’s wife was right—maybe it is unsafe to base an important decision on your feelings for a person. Takeshi says the same thing often enough. Every bonk, he says, quadruples in price by the morning after. But who are Takeshi or his wife to lecture anybody? If not love, then what? I looked at the time. Three o’clock. She was how many thousand kilometers and one time zone away. I could leave some money to cover the cost of the call. Good timing, Tomoyo answered, like I was calling from the cigarette machine around the corner. I’m unpacking. Missing me? A tiny little bit, maybe. Liar! You don’t sound surprised to hear me. I could hear the smile in her voice. I’m not. When are you coming?
