Chapter 40

• After a while and some confessions of childhood mischief, we take another shower. Ian has become enthusiastic about caressing my body and I about giving him some linguistic gifts in the shower. I can tell he enjoys it and that excites me. I don't know if we abuse sex, but we definitely delight in it.
• Once we're clean, I put on the same panties and his t-shirt, while Ian stays in his boxers, claiming that he struggles more with undressing than with doing it.
• We lie down together on the couch, and between pizza and conversations, he tells me about his childhood. About what happened to him when he lost his sister and mother, his arrival in Mexico, his time at university in London, and when we met.
