"Ketika mereka berpisah, titik berbintik-bintik di antara mata Pete berwarna merah cerah. Sebelum hal lain bisa dikatakan atau dilakukan, May meraih sepedanya dan melompat. Dia menunggu sampai dia enam rumah di bawah untuk berbalik dan melihat apakah dia masih berdiri di jalan masuk mengawasinya. Dia adalah. Dia berhenti sesaat, dan mereka saling pandang. Lalu dia perlahan mulai berjalan mundur menuju rumah. May tidak bisa melihat dengan baik, mengingat matanya masih agak buram dan dia jauh, tapi sepertinya dia tersenyum."

When they separated, the freckleless spot between Pete's eyes was bright red. Before anything else could be said or done, May grabbed her bike and hopped on. She waited until she was six houses down to turn and see if he was still standing in the driveway watching her. He was. She stopped for just a moment, and they caught each other's eyes. Then he slowly started walking backward toward the house. May couldn't see that well, considering that her eyes were still a little blurry and he was far away, but it looked like he was smiling.
