| "Tatiana" disse Alexander con la voce piena d'emozione."Ti amo"
Lei chiuse gli occhi. "Grazie" sussurò.
Le sollevò il viso. "Non l'ho mai sentito dire da te"
Non può essere vero, pensò lei. Ho ripetuto queste parole ogni minuto di
ogni giorno, da quando ci siamo incontrati. "Ti amo,Alexander"
"Dimmelo ancora"
"Ti amo" Lo abbracciò. "Ti amo da morire. Ma neanch'io te l'avevo mai sentito dire."
"Sì Tatiana. Lo avevi sentito."
Lei rimase in silenzio e trattenne il fiato.
Passò un minuto interminabile.
"Sai perchè lo so?"sussurrò lui.
"Perchè?"
"Perchè ti sei alzata da quella slitta"
Tatiana e Alexander - Paullina Simons.
Alexander. Here he is, before he was Tatiana’s, at the age of twenty, getting his medal of valor for bringing back Yuri Stepanov during the 1940 Winter War. Alexander is in his dress Soviet uniform, snug against his body, his stance at-ease and his hand up to his temple in teasing salute. There is a gleaming smile on his face, his eyes are carefree, his whole man-self full of breath-taking, aching youth. And yet, the war was on, and his men had already died and frozen and starved … and he was far away from home, and getting farther and farther, and every day was his last. And yet, he smiles, he shines, he is happy.
