The Perfect Kiss (1994)
“The night teemed with people—yuppies, blue collar workers, secretaries, tourists, dopers, pimps and murderers, all walking the same crowded streets. Predators of the night they became, searching, prowling, scavenging the streets and each other for what they needed. It was a city where anything could happen after dark—and usually did.
Zach rarely went out at night these days. In his younger years in New York, he’d succumbed to the lure of the incomparable nightlife. He’d been seduced by the endl...ess parties, the myriad bars and clubs all over the city. He’d drunk, he’d laughed, he’d gone home with women whose faces were now only a blur, and whose names had long ago been forgotten.
But that was before the threat of AIDS had made promiscuity a synonym for Russian roulette. That was before he’d realized that sex and alcohol only made him forget for a little while, and that in the morning the guilt was always stronger. That was before he’d decided that the only way to forget and forgive was to prove he’d been wrong all these years.MoreLess
