Monday, 17 July, midnight - My girlfriend just phoned from Alexandria, I’m overwhelmed with joy at her voice. After the initial intro, she tells me, with carefully chosen words, that she wants to leave me. The firm tone of her voice announces an irrevocable decision. – But we love each other! – Yes, more than anything else in the world, but I don’t love you the way you want. I’m walking up and down the room in the dark, I hear the planes in the sky and her breath over the phone. – Do you really think this is the right moment to say this? – Is there a right moment to say this kind of thing?
