“I need to tell you something”, David said. “No! Don’t! I don’t need to know it!” She replied, with a tinge of impatience but not irritation. Everything was just right. The night was cloudless and the breeze had no spite. The Trees ruffled their leaves egging them on. They were alone in the moonlight. The[…]
