"I just want to savor this," she said.  The words were too soft to count as conversation but she had the sense he was listening avidly.  "I was in pain for so long, you know.  You stop noticing after a while.  People would ask how I felt and I'd say, "fine" because the pain wasn't bad enough to keep me in bed that day.  And then I bumped into you in a shop and for a few seconds all the pain disappeared and I remembered what it felt like to be normal.  And then you were gone and it all came crashing back and I could barely stand.  I started to cry at the shock of how much I really hurt.  Harry had to side-along me home."
