Il crut tout d’abord qu’il était en train de délirer. Ce qu’il voyait était trop bizarre pour être la réalité. Annie venait de revenir dans la chambre, poussant devant elle un gril à charbon.

« J’ai affreusement mal, Annie. » Des larmes lui coulaient le long des pommettes.

« Je sais, mon cher. » Elle l’embrassa sur la joue, un baiser aussi léger que le contact d’une plume. « Bientôt. »

Elle le laissa et il regarda d’un œil rond le gril, une espèce de barbecue bon pour l’extérieur, qui se dressait maintenant dans la pièce, évoquant de tenaces images d’idoles et de sacrifices.

Et c’était bien un sacrifice qu’elle avait en tête, évidemment ; quand elle revint, elle tenait le manuscrit de Fast Cars à la main. Tout ce qui restait de deux années de travail tenait dans cette main. Dans l’autre, il vit une boîte de grosses allumettes en bois Diamond Blue Tips.
