From the novel: A strange silence fell between the two. A silence that spoke of what stirred in their hearts, and exposed what the tongue, the official spokesman for the heart, had hidden. It might not seem strange for the officer to fall in love with her, his arid heart becoming attached since his wife's death, but how could she love him so quickly? How can a woman who has just set her first foot on the threshold of grief, love? How can a woman who lost her husband weeks ago, leaving behind a legacy of problems stacked on the shelves of time, love? Can a woman so steeped in sorrow to the point of exhaustion become attached to a police officer who has not yet drawn his weapon, nor fired a single shot from his eyes or his lips?
