Part VII
"You could... let me... finish... a sentence... now and then!"
She began to giggle, and then there it was, that little mewl of hers Sam loved so well. Her body stiffened and rolled, and he unravelled. They collapsed together on the bedsheets, now tangled and moist with sweat.
And that was just what this was, every time – an unravelling. He didn't know how to put that into words, he never had; there were worlds of Rosie that she had constructed herself sentence by sentence in a language he couldn't read; but he thought them beautiful, nonetheless. Then there were times when the sentences faded and there was only the light between them, like now, time and flesh left behind.
Then and there, neither of them wanted to speak, so they slept, instead, tangled together.
