I want it! He said eagearly
B-but – but you can’t….you can’t have it!
I want it; I wouldn’t be able to walk away without it! I would suffer of many sleepless nights just wishing it was mine.
But this is not for sale. It’s worthless
Please don’t say that! How can you spout such cruel words! Can’t you see how special it is?
Special? It’s all broken, shattered. It’s beyond repair.
Then why don’t you give it to me? I would love to spend as many hours as necessary to fix it and more! Only its company once fixed could surpass the happiness of putting each piece together, the thrill of discovering how each piece falls into place!
But you don’t understand. It’s not that this is priceless, it’s just worthless.
So you should have no problem in handing it over…
And yet, I wouldn’t be able to give it away. It might sound silly, but worthless as it may be, shattered as it may appear, I would feel empty without it.
It’s not silly at all, dear. It’s the only logical thing. It’s not your fault that it’s broken, you never sought such a result, did you.
No…Of course not, she said lowering her head, hiding a run-away tear.
I’ll propose you a deal, a win-win deal. I’ll lend you mine, for you not to suffer from loneliness. In exchange, would you let me fix yours? I know it’s worth it.
But yours is so beautiful! Why would you exchange it for mine, which is so battered?
Because in my eyes, yours is the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. And you are too.
