Before and After the Rain

Finalmente criei ânimo e arranjei tempo para postar o segundo capítulo de Before and After the Rain. A saber, para quem não se lembra, eu posto minhas fics traduzidas em inglês no site fanfiction.net. Só que andei meio desanimadinha porque dentre os mais de 200 gringos (sim, esse povo todo!) que leem, quase ninguém deixa comentário. Tipo o que acontece aqui, só que lá dá mais trabalho, rsrs. Enfim, mas como eu não sou de ter medo de fantasmas, resolvi continuar. Segue trecho do capítulo 2, Raging Sea:

- No, Ian! - she said urgent - No. I… I love you, too. Me, the little silver worm in the back of her head. But my body doesn't love you. It can't love you. I can never love you in this body, Ian. It pulls me in two. It's unbearable.

For the first time I understood. I understood the truth, the waves hitting me fully in the middle of the chest. We had already had a conversation like this when she discovered that I loved her. When we discovered that I loved her. But now there was something new brought to the table. She was telling me she loved me too.

But she was also telling me that she couldn’t be with me.

My Soul was pulling me in two directions, too.    

Slowly, as if dragging her body in the direction it should have taken, she put her arms around my neck, her skin so close to mine that burned. She put her lips on mine and I pulled her even closer. Our lips repeated the gestures that I had shared with so many mouths, but this was different. It made perfect sense, as if it had always been that way. As if that kiss was born before us. An undersea volcano erupting, creating new  depths for the ocean.
