Is Emmerich's translation of 特に望みもなく in Yoshimono Banana's みずうみ correct?


I'm reading Yoshimoto Banana's みずうみ in Japanese, and I decided to refer to
Emmerich's translation into English to make sure I was following the beginning
correctly since I'm still an intermediate level reader. One sentence confused
me greatly. The original Japanese reads

> 時間が止まっていて、特に望み **もなく** 中島くんを見ている。

which I took to mean something like "Time is stopped, and I'm looking at
Nakajima-kun, wanting nothing in particular." Or more literally, "with no
particular desires."

However, Emmerich translates the same sentence as:

"Time has stopped, and I'm looking at Nakajima, and that's all I want."

**Have I totally misunderstood the way that もなく is used here?**

My translation and Emmerich's have very very different implications. I'm
especially skeptical of my own, since it seems like a professional translator
wouldn't want to completely change the meaning of a sentence like that.

In context, my version does make some sense, since the main character has just
finished saying she's not really in love with Nakajima, so the sense of not
wanting or expecting anything in particular seems appropriate. She has just
said a few sentences earlier that

> 「それは恋というようなものよりも、もっとぎょっとするような驚きなのだ。」

which I take to mean (loosely) "Rather than something like love, it was more
of a surprised/shocked feeling." But I can see that Emmerich's translation
works in this context as well, just with a different meaning.
