Excerpt

She doesn’t recognise the name, but she has a lot of questions: what I studied, where I work now, whether I like my job. While she asks them, her hand strokes my arm while her other hand, the one that held the book, runs up my neck until her fingers are in my hair and finds a place I love to be touched.
