I am lying in his bed, sprawled Marilynesque across the sheets. I want to stay in this moment. A naked moment.
But then he says the words that blur my nakedness into invisibility.
“You are so hot.”
Hot. The one word that makes my skin turn cold.
I take a deep breath, and my heart furls up like a scroll. I remember we have only been dating for four months. Of course, he only sees the casing and not the meat inside.
