Yesterday I suddenly realized... You see - bam! - like an epiphany! That he’s ready to tell everything to hell, and Jill, and the house, and all this family rigmarole. Damn it! When she’s near, it’s like an electric shock hits me, a thousand volts. Through! This is such a feeling... this... - he clenched his fists. “It’s like I never lived before.” Why just now... Well, why are you laughing, honestly?” I looked at him from under my brows - he had an epiphany, as if he had never lived...! I tried to remember if I had ever experienced a feeling of such strength... And it doesn’t matter whether it’s love, passion or lust, that’s not the point! I envied the strength of this feeling. Courage and madness of a thousand volts.” (Tennis on Wednesdays»)
