"Eu queria tão mal deitar ao lado dela no sofá, para envolver meus braços ao redor dela e dormir ... Apenas dormir juntos, no sentido mais inocente da frase. Mas falei a coragem e ela tinha um namorado e eu era gawky e ela era linda e eu era chato e ela era infinitamente fascinante. Então voltei para o meu quarto e desmoronei no beliche inferior, pensando que se as pessoas fossem chuvas, eu era chuvisco e ela era um furacão."

--- John Green

Versão em inglês

I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep... Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.
