Neven and Vera were walking hand in hand, talking about his exes with the same calm they would chat about the weather.

«The second incident happened when I was nineteen, almost twenty. A colleague in university. We weren't in a relationship, so I thought it was fine to sleep together from time to time. Too bad that, after the second time, she became obsessed. Or, rather, she couldn't pretend she didn't care anymore. I recognised the symptoms immediately and cut ties with her... But she would go from depression to stalking me quite a few times. That's when I realised that sleeping twice with the same woman was a risk... It's not the same for my brother, though. I am the weird one. Even my father told me he didn't have that kind of problem when he was young. When my mother wasn't listening, of course. We don't talk much about feelings and such things, so I was quite surprised when he told me.»
