harmony between us; I felt beautiful, strong and alive with a divine energy. As our limbs weakened, an inner tension rose inside us. We exploded in the same breath, clinging to each other.
    I don’t know which one of us ran into the water first but we quickly plunged back into the sea, driven by an incredible life force. Then the small white boat carried us somewhere else…
    Julia, I wanted to share a bit of my happiness with you. Perhaps make you smile and make you think about something else for a while. Try and ease the pain you seem to be feeling.
    Did you find out who that Camille was? Do you have any hope of seeing this Daniel again? Would it not be better if you forgot him? I've never seen you like this. And I am a bit worried…
    Write to me soon.
    lots of love,
    Sarah

    My dear Sarah,
    Thank you for your email. I was quite moved when I read it, and a bit of your happiness and cheerfulness has rubbed off on me. That’s just what I need at the moment.
    Yesterday, just after I wrote to you, dejected at Daniel’s departure, I found an envelope. Daniel had put a plane ticket to Paris in it for me, for July twenty-fifth. There was also a hand-written note telling me that everything had been taken care of with my boss. My mind has been in turmoil since I found it. I feel both happy and disappointed, fragile and strong, confused and resolved, excited and scared. Undecided.
    What should I do? Should I get on that plane or not?
    My knowledge of love affairs is limited to the books I’ve read, the films I’ve seen and the women I’ve heard. What I know about them comes from other people, through listening and understanding. But I know nothing through experience, because I've lived through it and experienced the emotions. I've been able to figure out a general framework and paint an idealised picture, but the reality is different to what I imagined, the reality is beyond me.
    It's not only because of my ignorance, but also because of the specific nature of Daniel Wietermann, because of this particular, magnetic yet unattainable, fascinating person. What would a man like that want with a girl like me? I am nothing like those models in glossy magazines, or those sophisticated, haughty, calculating heroines, those femmes fatales who have lots of money and experience and know how to manipulate men. On the surface it's a woman like that, who Daniel Wietermann needs…
    However, I did sometimes believe that he really liked me and I don’t think there is anything deceitful about him, he seems honest and straightforward. Tortured (and torturer), cold, distant and authoritarian, unable to tolerate either contradiction or opposition, but honest.
    I would like to hear him say something loving and verbalise his loving feelings – if he has any for me. Pride? Sentimentality? No, the need to be reassured, the need to be loved and to be told I am loved. If he wants me to join him, why not ask me outright, using affectionate words?
    He became talkative during our most intimate moments, but he never opened his heart to me. He gave orders, complimented my skills, described his desires and talked about his pleasure. “Fuck”, “take”, yes; but never “make love”. Was his attraction purely sexual?
    Daniel is a man of action, not a man of words. He prefers to act rather than linger over conversation. Fair enough. He gives orders, controls and dismisses, he has that power. And, whether in private or not, it changes nothing, he makes the decisions and his power applies to me too.
    Getting on that plane means setting off on an adventure that I know will not be easy. Taking that flight means giving my consent and agreeing to submit to his rules. Is that what I want? Am I ready for that?
    What do you think, my dear Sarah? Help me.
    love,
    Julia
    P.S. Contrary to all our hypotheses, Camille is Daniel’s
