Eva hitched up in her seat and reached across the table. Her hand was a heat, hovering near Isabel’s face. The pad of her thumb passed over Isabel’s brow. Fingers curled in, knuckles to Isabel’s cheek. She did it again, smoothing the grain of hair.
A riveting account of Isabel's fevered focus on Eva, highlighted by desperate atempts not to engageat all. This magical writing.
