I couldn't resist. I think I have found a new favorite paragraph.
"Then let me give you a cool one," he said. He soaped and rubbed her until her skin squeaked and glistened like onyx. SHe put salve on his face. He washed her hair. She sprinkled talcum on his feet. He straddled her behind and massaged her back. SHe put witch hazel on his swollen neck. He made up the bed. SHe gave him gumbo to eat. He washed the dishes. She washed his clothes and hung them out to dry. He scoured her tub. She ironed his shirt and pants. He gave her fifty dollars. She kissed his mouth. He touched her face. She said please come back. He said I'll see you tonight.
