"I'm in love. Sabine is 19 and I'm 23. I've decided to stay in Tiniteqilaaq. I want to be a hunter. Shoot seals and catch fish. Lear the language. I've stopped taking photographs.

I'm not allowed to see Sabine. I tried to explain to her that they don't want us to be together. Then I walked across the ice to the island of Sarpaq.

I'm in love with Sabine but I can't talk to her about it. When I said I could'nt visit her she became sad. It rained that night- unusal for March. I was lying on my mattress in Han's attic when I heard footsteps in the snow outside the window. I looked out without switching the light on. Sabine was down there looking up at my window. Had she seen me? I crawled back under the duvet and waited. Half an hour passed. Maybe I had'nt heard to leave? I looked out of the window again. Sabine, drenched, was still standing there looking up at my window. I switched on the light and waved. That night we spent hours walking around in the rain together."
