viii. dictated

Giulia said there are many kinds of kisses, weighed with promises or equipped to satisfy them. Any woman should know them all, she said.

I know now the kiss to promise and the one to fulfill it, like contracts and, perhaps, like marriages.

I have never kissed my husband, and I shall never. I have nothing to promise him.

[ Only she should never have said that. She holds her breath and tries to think, but what's done is done, so she shuts her journal instead. ]

She isn't friends with everyone. That's impossible, if it's a real friendship.

We used to be friends.

Yes. I'd hoped to get past them, but it seems she hasn't. I know where I'm not wanted.

But I'm not going there to tell her a story. Just you.
