I remained silent. And all of a sudden, I spoke.
"Marika, I can leave you my address... or if you give me yours, I can send you books for your studies..."
Her face was close to mine. Her eyes looked into mine. Amber eyes. She spoke a few words in an unknown language... Hungarian? I don't know. The room was half in shadow, and me too. Marika's hands slipped into mine. She rested her head on my shoulder. Very gently. I did not move. Time had stopped. I wanted to remain there forever. Who ever would find us like that? Death?
