and I cannot hold them.

With AO3 down, I've had to resort to reading the physical books stacked up on my bedside table...
No water, no life. No blue, no green.

‘‘Today life opened inside me like an egg’’
Avocados are my favorite fruit. Every Sunday my grandfather used to bring me an avocado pear hidden at the bottom of his briefcase under six soiled shirts and the Sunday comics. He taught me how to eat avocados by melting grape jelly and french dressing together in a saucepan and filling the cup of the pear with the garnet sauce. I felt homesick for that sauce. The crabmeat tasted bland in comparison.
‘I’ve got to talk to you, have you got time?’
‘Yes,’ she said, ‘let’s have an orange.’
