“If I hadn’t opened my car door, if I hadn’t met those eyes in the rear-view mirror and smiled back. If only I had gone to another street, or
if I had stayed one more day in another city, everything would have been so different. Would it have been just as nice, would it have been nicer, would I have ended up meeting those people just the same, but in a different way?
In this car I met, we met, I waited for you, I spied on you. The machine from a certain point of view knows everything….
It contains evidence of things done in life … of things we have quickly hidden. It collects and preserves the memory we no longer have … it solidifies it under a seat.

Here I have prepared speeches, dreamed, feared, cried, hidden behind glass, deliberately allowed that glass to fog up.

But I practised.

I observed life in motion, I saw my face change reflected in the mirror. I was able to stop quickly, stop someone, chase them, convince them that if they got back in the car with me for a moment, I would explain everything.

And then… I can drive away, even a long way, and I can come back whenever I want.
I live here.”
