Bright Spark
“Rory was squeezing her hand and nuzzling against her throat as he craned to see through the crystallised haze of the window. The excitement tingled through them both, an electrical circuit completed, as pristine and exhilarating as virgin snow beneath your skis. Toiling in the darkness made sense when the light could be this bright, the contentment so complete.
That was a long time ago. It had seemed like a dream even then. She had known her delusion for what it was and had passionately... embraced it. The simple facts of the affair had been plain enough. She had desired Rory viscerally, without needing or wanting to think too hard about why she’d allowed an older, married man to breach her defences, or whether his own desire would outlast the intoxicating novelty of lust and escape.
They had taken their tryst to Lapland on a triumphal whim. Every moment of that affair was burnished with a luminous clarity undimmed by its tawdry beginning and end.
The great and famous victory at Nottingham Crown Court, a painful and plodding year of work resolved in their favour one damp Thursday morning by an impetuous jury bored with legal bickering.MoreLess
