Mohsin Hamid Quote
She slips her arm around my shoulders and cradles my head against her breast.We breathe together. Slowly.Time passes, flowing, a long, less and less painful sigh. And I shut my eyes.Pain becomes only physical again.Fear recedes.Anger flickers for a moment longer, gas in the pipes after the stove has been turned off.She says, I’ll take care of you.And I feel gratitude and happiness rise up inside me: old friends, long-forgotten and yet much missed.
