I also don't believe that whatever comes after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions...I don't believe that what comes after depends on anything I do at all.

Since he saved me from the attack, I have associated his smell with safety, so as long as I focus on it, I feel safe now.

And I'm the kind of person who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near death experiences stop her.

He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.
