After Dark

"But why should you be interested in me?"
"Good question. I can't explain it myself right this second. But maybe – just maybe – if we start getting together and talking, after a while something like Francis Lai's soundtrack music will start playing in the background, and a whole slew of concrete reasons why I'm interested in you will line up out of nowhere. With luck, it might even snow for us."

Half day

I am sitting at my desk. With half a nutrigrain (breakfast), half a bag of crisps and half a sandwich (lunch). It is shaping up to be a pretty wasteful day.

Emma: If I run now, I'll get indigestion
Lucy: I was actually scared by that

'This cousin had a girlfriend with cheekbones to break your heart, and you knew she was the real thing when she steadfastly refused to acknowledge your presence. She possessed secrets - about islands, about horses, about french pronunciation - that you would never know'.

'The music is just about loud enough to drive everything between your ears down through the spinal column into your bones, and possibly you can shake it out via your fingertips, femurs and toes'.
