For Larisa and Robert Blake.
Here it is, The Boulders, I told you so.
I hear it’s beautiful. Something like heaven,
but not so many saints.
Larisa?
I don't think you've met her.
She's warm. Loving.
It's going to be a good marriage.
Bob? I like him. He always looks
like he just woke up. I think he'll improve
the family genes.
Make them a little weirder.
Desire?
Of course, desire. It's always there.
Think of us at thirty-five.
But something else, a kind of awe:
All those years of being alone,
trying to somehow find your way,
and then one day, you don't know why,
you look into a stranger's eyes
and see there's someone else inside,
who has the nicest, kindest eyes.
