Sketches in the Margin: An Interlude

What follows isn’t a story in the usual sense. It’s closer, quieter, and more personal — a moment that slipped between chapters and didn’t ask to be kept.

This interlude includes intimate and sensual material, treated with care rather than spectacle. If that isn’t what you’re in the mood for just now, you may wish to return to it another time.

Otherwise, it may be worth stopping for a moment. Some things ask for your full attention.
