소설은 이렇게 맺는다:

    

   Should we go there? he asked.

   I looked up, startled.

   Now?

   Yes. It's close. As you know.

   I did not reply. Adriaan waved to the waiter, signaling for the bill. I'd been quiet long enough for the silence to take on meaning. I would need to make a decision. Yes, I said softly. He turned around and I saw that in his eyes there was nonetheless a glimmer of hope. That we might yet proceed from here. That this might yet be enough. He reached for my hand, his face turned toward me. And so I said it again. I said yes. (p. 225)
