She would fill the hole that the day had left in her with sensations and wanting and this, she decided, until she felt more alive than she had ever felt before. I love this. Not just because it's a beautiful summary, but because of the wording - somehow describing the day as having left a hole in her packs a very particular punch.
I remember betaing this, but I don't recall the lengthy thoughts on the differences between them and how they both, each in their way, care. Very nicely done, and a lovely way to sum up who they are, how they differ and how they still fit together.
And the end is just lovely. Even if everything is going to be ruined, they will have had good moments. Brings to mind this line?
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one.
(Not that Roda dies, but I'm sure you agree with the sentiment.)
