certificate verb

Pero sí, bebé, cómo no iba a saberlo, cómo imaginar que Celia hubiera podido callarse, me había bastado verlos juntos en la plaza para comprender que todo estaba dicho y que era justo que estuviera dicho, que la almohada hubiera sido una vez más el viejo puente de palabras, y en algún momento Austin se habría incorporado apoyándose en un codo para mirarla como me estaba mirando ahora, con esa dureza que venía de tanta inocencia abolida, y después habría querido saber hasta lo último y Celia se habría tapado la cara y él le habría apartado las manos para repetir las preguntas, y todo habría venido así a jirones entre besos y caricias y una especie de perdón que ni ella tenía que pedir ni él que dar, un certificado para esa vida de tontos felices tomados de la mano y admirando las chimeneas y los jefes de estaciones que se iban sucediendo de Arcueil a París.
But yes, baby, how couldn’t I help but know, how could I imagine that Celia had been able to keep silent? All I needed was to see them together on the square to understand that everything had been said, that the pillow had once more been the old bridge of words and at some moment Austin had probably raised himself up on one elbow to look at her the way he was looking at me now, with the hardness that came from so much eliminated innocence, and then he probably wanted to know everything down to the last detail, and Celia had probably covered her face, and he’d removed her hands to repeat his questions, and everything had turned to tatters like that with kisses and caresses and a kind of forgiveness which she didn’t have to ask for and he didn’t have to give, a certificate for that life of happy fools holding hands and admiring the chimneys and station masters that were passing by between Arcueil and Paris.
