I stood at my bedroom window, my pockets compromised by pen and mints, my fingers smelling
still of cigarettes, watching my mum and dad, the lawmakers, so oddly somber on this sunny day in their black coats,
now walking arm in arm towards the house. ... How dull and tedious it was,
to be on their side of the glass. But me? I can't remember ever feeling happier. What kind of happiness is this
that disappears as soon as you are good? What kind of joy?
