‘Whadda you mean?’ she asks, shifting uneasily beneath him and propping on an elbow.
‘You’ve become my touchstone. I lie here with you and define myself against you. This, here, now, is my world.’
‘What about your friends? And Rob’s family. You said they’d adopted you.’
‘Yes. But that’s just an illusion. Escapist wishful thinking.’ He lies silently, as if wrestling with some great dilemma that is crushing him. ‘I want you to take me to meet your family.’
She jerks up to sit ramrod straight beside him.
‘David, they’re a world apart.’
‘I know that. But if they are, so must we be. And we’re not, are we?’
She wants to turn away from the imploring in his eyes and the timbre of his voice but she’s frozen in the enormity of the moment. He allows her time. ‘No, we’re not,’ she at last agrees.
‘In that case, there can’t be borders between us.’
‘It’s not that easy.’
‘Nothing in life that’s good ever is.’ She has no response. ‘I love you, Maire,’ he whispers.
She stays silent, burning with an overwhelming tenderness for him. She wants to say the word back but can’t bring herself to let it out.
