  He’d gotten the idea from a book, not unlike the one you last read and loved, whose lurid covers you have already forgotten.

One by one he would name them as he wove them into his heart in the deep of night. He touched you once, borrowing pieces of your story in passing. They are here still, in case you wish to look.
