Chapter Three

THAT NIGHT IN BED when they were still awake she said in the dark, "We don't always have to do the devil things either. Please know that."

"I know."

"I love it the way we were before and I'm always your girl. Don't ever be lonely. You know that. I'm how you want but I'm how I want too and it isn't as though it wasn't for us both. You don't have to talk. I'm only telling a story to put you to sleep because you're my good lovely husband and my brother too. I love you and when we go to Africa I'll be your African girl too."

"Are we going to Africa?"

"Aren't we? Don't you remember? That was what it was about today. So we could go there or anywhere. Isn't that where we're going?"

"Why didn't you say it?"

"I didn't want to interfere. I said wherever you wanted. I'd go anywhere. But I thought that was where you wanted."

"You can't swim in Spain the way we do here. You'd get arrested."

"What a bore. Let's wait to go there then because I want us to get darker."

"Why do you want to be so dark?"

"I don't know. Why do you want anything? Right now it's the thing that I want most. That we don't have I mean. Doesn't it make you excited to have me getting so dark?"

"Uh-huh. I love it.

"Did you think I could ever be this dark?"

"No, because you're blond."

"I can because I'm lion color and they can go dark. But I want every part of me dark and it's getting that way and you'll be darker than an Indian and that takes us further away from other people. You see why it's important."

"What will we be?"

"I don't know. Maybe we'll just be us. Only changed. That's maybe the best thing. And we will keep on won't we?"

"Sure. We can go over (...)
