Trains And Lovers: a Novel
“I had been infatuated with a girl at university, but that had barely lasted three months and the relationship had not progressed very much. She toyed with me; it flattered her, I think, to have somebody who felt that way about her, but she had no intention of getting involved. “What’s the point?” she asked on our final date. “This isn’t going anywhere.”“Because you don’t want it to,” I protested. I thought that if only she would give rein to her feelings then it would be different.“No, you’re r...ight,” she said. “I don’t.”That was no obstacle, in my view. “You could make an effort. You could try.”She smiled patiently. “You don’t try with these things. It’s either there or it isn’t.”“So it isn’t there?”“No. It isn’t.”That rejection had the virtue of clarity, and I retired to lick my wounds. A few days later I saw her with someone else. She did not notice me, but I saw her flirting with him and knew that if it hadn’t been there with me, then it was definitely there with him.MoreLess
