I know you worry about our letters and texts getting read--shades of WWII, haunting us still, I guess, and I'm well aware that nothing's safe on the internet. I worry too.

It was a draw.”
“the end, as it turned out, goodbye was only a matter of walking away from each other like it didn’t matter, like they would see each other again in hours, like they hadn’t spent the last two weeks making love like honeymooners and the last eleven years in each other’s lives like family.
