Está caliente y limoso y comienza a derretirse contra mi piel pegajosa, pero antes de que tenga la oportunidad de deslizarse lejos, Willem lame su pulgar y limpia la mancha de Nutella y lo lleva a su boca. Todo sucede rápido, como un lagarto liquidando una mosca.— Esto es amar. — Y aquí me quita la otra muñeca, la que tiene el reloj en ella, y se mueve alrededor de la correa hasta que ve lo que está buscando. Una vez más, se lame el dedo. Sólo que esta vez, él lo frota contra mi marca de nacimiento, con fuerza, como si estuviera tratando de fregar.— ¿Amar es una marca de nacimiento? — Bromeo mientras retracto mi brazo.

With the aid of a rope made of knotted rags, he let himself down from the window and escaped across the castle's ice-covered moat. A guard gave chase. Willems made it safely to the other side. The guard did not, falling through the ice into the freezing water, and Willems stopped, went back, and pulled his pursuer to safety. For his act of compassion, he was taken back to prison, tortured, and then burned slowly at the stake as he repeated "Oh, my Lord, my God" seventy times over.8"
