J’ai entendu le crépitement des gouttes tombant du toit, des branches d’olivier. Toute la terre ruisselait. Une vapeur grise s’élevait au-dessus de l’herbe ployée par l’averse. Je me suis lentement redressé, m’appuyant sur les coudes, puis les mains. J’ai roulé sur le flanc, me retrouvant à plat ventre, et j’ai enfin réussi à m’agenouiller.

Posant mes mains sur ses épaules, je sentais ses os. � Mange, tu n’es vraiment pas grosse.
