A Nail, A Rose Quotes

“Was it the night that was falling outside and spreading into the room? Was it our night, unfurling in our souls and obscuring everything? I didn’t know, I couldn’t remember. But I did remember that everything went slowly dark and that in the heart of that darkness my hand met yours. We drew gently closer to each other until our elbows touched.”
― Madeleine Bourdouxhe, A Nail, A Rose
