"The fantasy never got beyond that—I didn’t let……" — Kazuo Ishiguro
"The fantasy never got beyond that—I didn’t let it—and though the tears rolled down my face, I wasn’t sobbing or out of control. I just waited a bit, then turned back to the car, to drive off to wherever it was I was supposed to be."
