Hi. Havaa's father just lost all his fingers. Refugees ask him for beds. It seems to me, that the last sentence lacks "with smth" (like pleasure) after "fill him", doesn't it? Thank you.
"Havaa would never know her father had spent the past three days paralyzed by the realization that his fingers would never again ... rake April soil, or flip the pages of a book, or wrap around his penis in the outhouse, where for the space of an inhalation he felt content.
“Yes,” he said. The three refugees beamed with a gratitude that would fill him even longer than a final trip to the outhouse. “We have several beds.” (A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra)
