“Hold on a moment, there’s someone at the door.” Now that she knew who she was speaking to, her voice became a little less sullen, as if some wary reflex had reset her reaction mechanism to prevent her from letting slip any word that he could use against her in the next bout, although to tell the truth, it was his impression that Fanta never talked back but simply met his attacks with a stubborn silence, a distant, rather sulky look, her lips swelling and her chin drooping; he, Rudy, was well aware that she chose only too carefully the little she said, knowing any word of hers could provoke his outburst, just as he knew only too well that what truly angered him was the very indifference—so deliberate, so studied—of her expression, and that the crosser he became the more Fanta walled herself off and the more he got bogged down in his fury at her disingenuous nonchalance, until he couldn’t help spitting in her face those words he would later regret so desolately even if, as on this morning, he couldn’t be sure he’d really uttered them.
—Espera un segundo, llaman —su voz algo menos morosa ahora que sabía con quién hablaba, como automáticamente tensada de nuevo por un reflejo de vigilancia, de sospecha tendente a no dejar escapar ninguna palabra que pudiera utilizar como cargo contra ella en la disputa siguiente, aunque, a decir verdad, pensaba, Fanta no discutía nunca, se contentaba con oponer a sus ataques la barrera de un mutismo obstinado, de un semblante de expresión distante y ligeramente enfurruñado, labios hinchados, mentón pesado, y él, Rudy, sabía bien que ella vigilaba demasiado cuidadosamente lo poco que decía para que fuese eso, una frase de ella, lo que provocara su cólera— él, Rudy, sabía perfectamente que se encendía ante la propia indiferencia, tan voluntariamente querida, tan atormentada, de ese rostro, y que cuanto más se molestaba, más herméticos se volvían los rasgos de Fanta y más se quedaba él atrapado en su rabia, hasta soltar, como si fuera un escupitajo, a esa cara falsamente impávida palabras que lamentaba con desesperación, aunque dudando a continuación, como esa mañana, haberlas dicho realmente.
