About This Quote

In this passage from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir describes how things in his relationship changed in a major way in the year after his father died. After a very long time, Amir and his girlfriend finally had sex -- a major step for them both. But they also began to talk more about what they wanted in life and what they wanted from their relationship. The sex was still there, but it was much more about talking and having a connection rather than just reaching orgasm.
