 How much she is in love with him or he with her we don’t know. Or how much it is a game of secrets. As theygrow intimate 1 the space between them during the day grows larger. She likes the distance he leaves her, the space he assumes 2 is their right. 


She learns all the varieties of his darkness. The colour of his forearm against the colour of his neck. The colour of his palms, his cheek, the skin under the turban. The darkness of fingers separating red and black wires, or against bread he picks off the gunmetal plate he still uses for food. 
She loves most the wet colours of his neck when he bathes. And his chest with its sweat which her fingers grip 3 when he is over her, and the dark, tough arms in the darkness of his tent, or one time in her room when light from the valley’s city, finally free of curfew, rose among them like twilight 4 and lit the colour of his body. 
Later she will realize he never allowed himself to be beholden to her, or her to him.
