N: Loaded up with bizarre forms of chocolate, their letters flew thick and fast between the continents. Max learnt to read Mary's letters with caution. And at the slightest tingle of tension, he would stop, take his medication and soothe his nerves. For each letter, he would iron, laminate and file in a special place, which also soothed his nerves.
信件里裝著奇形怪狀的巧克力,他們的信件密集穿梭在兩個大陸之間,Max用心讀著Mary的信,當他感到輕微刺痛的時候,就停下來,吃藥來減輕神經痛。每一封信他都會熨燙,壓平,保存在一個特別的地方,這同樣也減輕了他的神經痛。
