"Jag älskar dig, Tobias."
Beatrice would tell him but he never answered.
"Did you hear me? I said I love you!"
She said in English this time. Perhaps he didn't hear her before.
Why didn't he say it back? Tobias does love her. She knows that.
"Ingen, Beatrice."
No, Beatrice.
"Do you love him?" I asked her.
For a long time I thought she wouldn't answer, but then she looked at our hands and said:
"If you had asked me two days ago, I would have said yes. But now I'm not sure I know what love is anymore."
