Her beauty was still undeniable.

- Why are you doing this to me?

- Because I need you to understand.

Just let me finish.

Then you can walk out the door...

and I swear I'll never bother you again.

Her beauty was still undeniable,

but it wasn't the same.

As she spoke of her feelings for him,

all he could think of was Anna.

Sweet, caring, beautiful Anna...

and how his own failings

had driven her away.

Anna had become part of him.

He had fallen

so completely in love with her...

that it was hopeless to think

he could ever be with anyone else.

And so he said goodbye to Polina...

and set off to win back

the heart of his true love.

Yes, Polina had been a dream,

like a creation from one of his stories...

but Anna was real.

For the first time in his life...

that felt more powerful

than anything he could ever invent.

The end.

Nice last sentence.

I'm just a writer.

I don't know what to do to show you

how much I love you.

I only have words.

That's all I have.

Maybe I was wrong.

About what?

Maybe you can catch the rabbit.
