Chapter 29

Then she put the program to break the nuts he had saved. Jenny wanted Nate knew that, starting with The Break walnuts¹, that day was the most wonderful of her life, the day that they said they loved it. Finally she cut a fuse of thick hair, tied with a red ribbon and placed inside the box. Seemed a little strange with all the other things, as a memento² of a dead or something, but she wanted Nate felt that she was well next to it and this seemed the best way. With the increase of the fuse of hair, a box of memories seemed complete. Then she closed the box and held the lid with adhesive³ tape. After the embrulhou with pages of magazines for teenagers who were spread throughout the room, careful not to include any page with ads for absorbent constraining⁴ intimate, contraceptive pills or drugs for mycoses. Finally she pasted a Post-it yellow and carefully wrote the address of Nate in Maine, which she had placed on the agenda with the addresses of all other houses of his family in Montauk, Nice, Barbados and St. Anton, just to ensure. After pasting the box twenty stamps which had surrupiado the desk of her father, Jenny took the package to the kitchen and opened the back door to leave it to the postman. It was great live in a building as the old her. There was no mailbox on the ground floor, so the postman used the service elevator and the mail delivered directly to the back door. She placed the box on the floor, beneath the small shelf where the postman raised the match, and made a frown at her, asking whether it should perhaps open it again and include the thong⁵ so that the box was a little more sexy. Thinking better, it seemed half of piranha. Furthermore, Nate had given him the thong of Christmas. If sent back, Nate could not believe that she had liked. Dan appeared in the kitchen and saw Jenny standing⁶ in the back door. - What are you doing? - He asked, suspicious. His father had asked to Dan to keep an eye on Jenny and he was taking the task seriously. Jenny closed the door. - Just seeing if you have mail. - She turned and looked at Dan semicerrados eyes. The hair of him was blurry⁷ and he wore the same white shirt stained coffee two days ago. - You're horrible. Dan put instant coffee in the cup and opened the tap of hot water until it is hot enough to dissolve the crystals. He filled the cup and drank a sip⁸. - I am working on a poem - he said, as if that explained everything. Jenny opened the refrigerator, would get a can of yogurt DANNON of coffee, and then withdrew his hand and closed the door of the refrigerator with a thud. The last thing I wanted was to see Nate before fat again. Dan blew the cup, watching it. - You know that Vanessa was right? - Said he impassive. - Who filmed both in the park? Jenny turned, pulling down the bra where he had risen between the breasts. She never came back to the site since Dan saw on the computer, and never went through her head trying to deduce who had done that. Vanessa The idea of putting the film on the site seemed absolutely ridiculous. - How do you know? - Jenny asked. Dan has to shoulder. - See the movie. It has to be the Vanessa. Jenny crossed his arms. - I'd rather not see. In any event, so it was she? - Jenny worked with Vanessa in rancor⁹, the journal of the arts students of Constance Billard, and they have always been good. If Vanessa had shot Nate and Jenny in the park, probably had a perfectly¹⁰ good explanation for the cause of this and have done a perfectly good explanation for how the movie ended up on Web - Just thought you wanted to know, just that. - Said Dan and returned to his room. I store and rearrange the list of words he had written to the Office for blocking writer, and now trying to mount them in some order to the poem "Putas". Piranha, slave, scraped, black, income, ice, cold, rain, crying, handkerchief, sleep, coffee, stain, guilt¹¹ ... It would be very mad poem, of course, but was not about being angry. It was about discovering that the person you love is not who you thought they were. Jenny was not the sweet and innocent sister that he thought, and Vanessa was a voyeur¹² who wore panties of a bitch and take advantage of the moments of intimacy¹³ of people to draw attention. He began to use words from the list, adding the occasional verb or adjective to embellish¹⁴ the text. Clean the sleep from my eyes with a handkerchief and serve another cup. I see that you tried to tell me all the time, Shaving the head and showing me (very delicately) With satin and income: You are a slut. Dan liked the righteousness of what he had written and his energy. He continued writing, reinvigorated by the sense of filling a sheet of paper again. After I finish, I would send by e-mail to Vanessa. Writing the poem was the only way he knew to deal with what I had, and send it to Vanessa was the only way he knew to say to her. V is a way to apologize Ruby¹⁵ stuck his head in the room of Vanessa. Emborrachada was wearing a black jacket, jeans and black shoes with pointed¹⁶ needle jump. He had cut his hair and shave with the blade he was supercurto. - Some mail? - Ruby asked. Vanessa shook her head. His parents were traveling through Europe, a tour of some of art fair, and had not warrant or a postcard. - Phone calls? Scraps¹⁷? Vanessa shook his head again. - Any chance of you come with me? Ruby-proposed. - You should be on vacation, you know. Vanessa has the shoulders of new and closed his jacket hood¹⁸ up to the chin. Was still angry with her sister by borrowing the camera without asking her, and still did not want to do anything except talk to Dan She did not speak with Dan since he got out of his house on Friday - the longer it has been without talking since that became friends years before. She wanted to explain everything to him, the entire disaster on the link in the Web was just a terrible accident and Vanessa just bought the Victoria's Secret lingerie because he thought that would help to relax and have fun. I tell you they were friends long enough to get angry with each other and that jetio to apologize a million different ways. But she hoped that in the background to know Dan well enough to imagine that she would never put a film exploring the site his sister like that. And she hoped the fund that he understood that there was humiliated¹⁹ when she was standing, almost naked, with a minimum undergarment, and it is that it should apologize first. - All right. See you later. I have a food for you - Ruby said, turning up. Vanessa went to the computer to check for the hundredth time if Dan mandara you some e-mail.
This time he had! It was a poem! She pulled a chair and anxiously clicked twice in the file. As soon as he opened, she began to read. Read the poem three times on the screen before you print it and read again. The words were ugly and angry, and hurt. Dan had not forgiven, it was very clear. But Vanessa has always been able to see the beauty in ugly things, and she read requests for publication in anger sufficient to know that the poem he was special. It was full of rich metaphors²⁰ and a passionate²¹ language, and although he wanted to bury their heads covered and in tears, she could not stop admiring the words intelligent. It was brilliant. Even if Dan never speak to her, and although the poem treat it entirely²² horrible person and he thought she was, she would find that the poem was published. Dan never tried to publish anything, but not as he had not become numb²³ when opening a copy of The New Yorker and saw his poem "Putas" printed in the magazine. What wonderful way to impress the universities to which he was applying. She could not fail to do so. Should it to him. Leaping from the chair, Vanessa vasculhou the room of Ruby to find a copy of The New Yorker stuck under the door of the closet. Browse²⁴ the magazine to find the name of the editor, returned to the computer and wrote a letter to him, putting the name of Dan and address it in a sealed envelope for response.
