“That makes me very sad,” he said. “We were hoping to be together for three months. Now it will be three months before we even see each other, and then only for a week or so.”

Amir, I have to ask, do you think it would be better if you found someone else, someone who has enough money and influence to make things happen for you? I seem to be doing a pretty poor job. I’m long on promises but short on results.”

I am in love with you. I have always been in love with you, and I always will be in love with you, no matter what kind of good luck or bad luck is in our future.”
