Can I have your telephone number? Perhaps we could have dinner some time, while you’re in Athens.

My Neighbour

I’m thinking of taking my boat out and wondered whether you’d like to join me for a swim. I could come and collect you at your apartment in an hour or so, and drive you back there afterwards.

I kept looking for something else, a clue, something rotting or breeding,

a layer of mystery or chaos or shame,

but I didn't find it.

Music, music is a betrayer of secrets; it is more treacherous even than dreams, which at least have the virtue of being private. For example, it was when I heard my husband singing "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" in the shower that I realised he was being unfaithful to me.

My Neighbour

I have been asking myself why it is that I find myself so attracked to you.
