If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you. If you actually make them think, they'll hate you. ↗

She wished it were evening now, wished for the great relief of the calendar inking itself out, of day done and night coming, of ice cubes knocking about in a glass beneath the whisky spilling in, that fine brown affirmation of need. ↗
