I went with Adele for another checkup. I had to talk to her at length to convince her to go. While I was talking to her she seemed to ignore me. She wouldn’t respond to any of my questions. I looked at her. She was sitting in front of me. Her eyes looked like emptied of sight. I even shouted to get her attention. Her mind was traveling to a place in the universe of silence, unknown to me. Sometimes she’d open her mouth so I could see her teeth. Her mouth smelled always good. I loved her teeth. I didn’t know that time that she was just months away from entering the stage of total silence as Dr. Freud warned me.
When I got home today the first thing I noticed was the clothes on the floor, some of them were mine, others Adele’s. A note from Adele was glued on the kitchen wall: “I discovered the journal you are writing about me. It is not fare. I gave you happiness and I let you use my body and I let you manipulate my mind to your advantage. And what you did to me? You imagined that I had some illness so that you could have a reason to send me away to some hospice and marry another woman. You know after all that I am not ill. I still love you though I think you are a creepy guy. I’m going to miss making coffee for you in the morning, skinning apples for dinner and watching first league English soccer games. You’d have to wash your toilet and the kitchen and learn not to let the water running and all the lights on. Yours, Fox-trot!” Then I discovered the journal under the sink. The written pages were ripped off. One page was left dangling. On it Adele’s wrote:
