Salem (4)
Just as I was about to go, Salem called me back:
Felice, wait! I didn’t say you could go! - Come and sit here and talk to me. I am in urgent need of your conversation.
He patted one of the cushions next to him. – The candle shrunk back; I did not move.
One winter, the lake had frozen over in the park near campus; Salem picked me up in his sports car and whisked me off to buy a pair of skates.
Salem could not skate for toffees. He kept on falling over; his clothes got all wet. My rooms happened to be nearby; O was not around; Salem lost no time in stripping off his clothes. I threw him a towel, but alas - the towel could not hide his intention.
What is it about you, Felice? He said. - You make me feel so ridiculous.
How could he have known it was me who felt ridiculous?
