“His chest is muscular and tight with coarse hairs, which he clips short. His chest is like a bed in the military: you could bounce a quarter off it. When I first saw him without his shirt, as he reclined against the pillows, he laughed hard at something I said, and I happened to look at his stomach. There, I saw an extra bone.

I nestled up against him and placed my head on his chest. “You know, like a missing leg, no arms?”
“Oh,” he said.
I sat up to watch him think.MoreLess
