I realize after this touch he would know me...

Year's from now even in the dark...

Even without my skin.

You have such lovely bones, he says, holding my face in his hands, and although I can almost feel the stone and the sand sifting away, his fingers like the softest of brushes, I realize after this touch he would know me years from now, even in the dark, even without my skin. Thank you, I smile— then I close the door and never call him again.
