“—Yeah, she says, followed by a stream of words he doesn’t catch. He watches her turn on her side and then on her stomach. Now she clutches the pillow, her black hair matted and spread across the white pillow cover. Jess observes her in the dark. He can just make out her lips, which sleep has made big and soft. She swallows, and makes a barely audible lip-smack.
—Oh, Markus, she mumbles.
Jess drops his head on the pillow. Soon he throws off the duvet and sets his feet on the cold floor. ...He goes into the living room and sits in the green chair. Then he stands and goes into the kitchen. Maria’s purse rests on the table. He unclasps it and carefully removes its contents. He opens her date book, skims a few months back, and finally examines her list of telephone numbers. He studies a little compact with mirror and powder. He unfolds wrinkled-up papers and presses them flat, telephone messages, receipts, and a napkin with an impression of her lips.MoreLess
