Good Medicine (2005)
“Just out of reach of the incoming tide, he stopped and crouched down on his haunches.
He felt disturbed. This woman wasn’t for him. The culture she came from was the same one that had almost destroyed him. Tonight he needed to remember that, as much as he usually needed to forget it. He wanted her, but he could control his desire.
The ebb and flow of the water slowly quieted his mind, and after a while it felt as if his blood were flowing in rhythm with the ocean’s current. He began to hum, a m...onotonous deep thrumming in his chest, clearing away the emotions that swirled in his bloodstream like fireflies. The sound centered him, connected him to the earth and water, the wind and sky, and at last a measure of peace touched the place where his hunger raged.
JORDAN WOKE TO THE SOUND of crows waging a territorial war outside her bedroom. Her bedside clock said 6:00 a.m., and the thin curtain covering her open window did little to keep out the light and cool, fresh air.
There was no confusion about where she was; ever since her intern days she’d come out of deep sleep fully alert.MoreLess
