...You remember that August night when you came into my room and became my lover? Did you really understand that I did not wish it? I begged you to spare me. I explained to you that I was not cut out for physical love, and above all not for adultery. I didn't want to belong to you. Neither to you nor to anyone else.
Don't love me less for it, please, for I love you as passionately as a woman like me can love...
