Such a perfect sentence: "At work, she dreamt awake; at home, she dreamt asleep." :)

I find new layers in your words every time I reread a passage. Today, this sentence really struck me, as if Lena’s affair, while underground, is trying to awaken her, breathe life back into her dreams, while at home, in the light of day, she’s asleep to her needs, her longing.

“At work, she dreamt awake; at home, she dreamt asleep.”
