Inez marvelled over how someone standing right in front of her could feel so far. It was as if he were almost unreachable.

And the way he told her that he didn't want to talk about it was said with so much finality that she knew that pushing him would get her nowhere. Inez knew that the man in front of her had pulled down the shutters. And she …well, she felt a bit lonely.
