“I have to say, her blonde bob was amazing. The delicate way it hugged her face and neck. The softness of it...”

“I wanted to reach out and stroke her, to be gentle and tender towards her. Take care of her.”

“What would you like to do with my neck?’ I asked. ‘Seduce me with your words. Feel free.”

“Maybe you’re smiling as I stumble to put my feelings into words. But I’m trying to do her justice, you know?”

“Oh, do you understand what I mean? Have you ever felt that about the Moon? Have you ever ached with the sheer beauty of it?”

“No words. Just my finger pointing in silence. My finger silently saying, ’Unwrap me, darling.”

“I like the sounds of words. Words are very enjoyable. I like words because they are... seductive. And I like words because they can contain... fantasies.”
