A historical relationship of Ivan Turgenev is uncovered.

The ambiguous relationship between Ivan Turgenev and the ingénue starring in the revival of one of his early plays is revealed through the fragments of sources left to a researcher. It is a love predicated on renunciation, in which the appeal of a perpetual 'if-only' is explored.

Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection The Lemon Table.
