You end up on the studio floor with the lamp behind you and your hands doing the talking.

It is easier in the dark. Everything is easier when you cannot be overheard.

RosaPeople think silence is the hard part. The hard part is when someone talks at my back.

You tell her, in bad signs and worse spelling, that you'll always come round to her front. She laughs, and then she isn't laughing.

She takes your wrist and puts your hand flat on her stomach, under the shirt, and holds it there until you understand.

Her hands find your face afterwards to make sure of where you are, and stay there.
