“It was only then, when the man lay sleeping beside her, that Evelyn took in the whole new astonishment of her situation. She shifted very slightly away from him in her bed so that no part of her body was touching his, aware of the smell of his skin of his naked back so close beside her, so masculine and alien, an affront in a new language she couldn't read.” — Tessa Hadley
