She just wanted to be happy

Géraldine's second novel

"He left her last week. More exactly on Tuesday night of last week at twenty-one fifteen. The night before, they made love three times. When they went to bed, around midnight, a little before the alarm clock went off, around six thirty, and in the middle of the night, but since she didn't turn on the light, she's not sure exactly when. So she would say around three or four in the morning. Actually, it doesn't really matter. In the dark months and sleepless nights that followed, she would wonder for a long time how a man could make love three times in one night to a woman he was going to leave the next day. Maybe because he knows he is going to leave her. He will swear that no, the day before, he did not know. "
