As for the holidays, the otherwise stressful dilemma of mountain versus sea holidays had never caused a division between them, while the customary dispute of their exact destination was for the two of them a piece of cake. And when it came to sex, it was as satisfying as it could be after two years of living together, he concluded with a certain fatality. He would miss Lila, there was no denying that. How much? Only time could tell.
