either of them
but then he’s holding your hair
rubbing your back
stakkars, he says. poor thing
i didn’t know you got carsick
his touch
so gentle
his duplicity
so brutal
don’t touch me, you hiss
the cupboard in your chest
slams closed
what? he looks at Alison
what’s happening? what did you tell her?
you get back in the car
slam the door
Alison grabs you by the sleeve
it was me. i propositioned him
i kissed him
he barely kissed me back
that’s why we had to leave early
he couldn’t stand another night
in the same house with me
he kissed her?
they kissed?
Espen
first serious boyfriend
first ever lover
steward of heart and soul
