de thé et de pamplemousse. Il y a Jonas, désormais amoureux d'une autre, mais dont l'amitié porte encore le souvenir des anciens amants.

Entre le ravissement et la fuite, cette valse amoureuse les conduira enfin au centre d'eux-mêmes, là où l'abandon devient possible.

Il s'est enfui aux confins de sa solitude pour trouver la force de m'aimer malgré tout. " -- 4e de couv
