I looked at her and said “The Gods would envy us if they could see us now”
“What makes you think they can’t see us?”
“Because there‘s you and me and nothing else exists outside this room right now...”
She looked at me only for a moment and then she started laughing. She leaned her head backwards, caressed her hair with her hand and lit up a cigarette. Smoke slowly filled the room as she stared quietly at the ceiling.
