Quote preview background for Matt Haig
And after that, after the awkward shuffling away of that last thin layer of clothes, words retreated to the sounds they once were. We had sex. A happy entanglement of warm limbs and warmer love. A physical and psychological merging that conjured a kind of inner light, a bio-emotional phosphorescence, that was overwhelming in its gorgeousness. I wondered why they weren__ prouder of it. Of this magic. I wondered why, if they had to have flags, why they didn__ just opt for one with a picture of sex.
