Do You Love Me?
Circa 1960 Oily night pads in. The city reeks. But it is chilly in the room under the eaves of the townhouse, where they pitch in bed. To her, Edmund feels all spines. He penetrates her like a question and she responds with her hips nervously, shallowly.
“I don’t know if I love you.” Edmund, whom nobody calls Ed, is sitting on the bed’s edge, thinner than ever.
She shivers with sweat. “Should I leave? Go back to New York?”
“Of course not.” Politely. “Don’t be melodramatic.”
“It’s... worse since we started sleeping together.”
“Worse?” He shoots to his feet, reaching for his briefs. “What’s worse? It’s enough to make anyone nervous, tiptoeing around my parents’ house.”
“Why do we stay here then? Let’s go someplace else.”
“You said you liked them.”
“I do. Especially your father. He’s a dear.”
He winces, misbuttoning his shirt. Waits for her to help him. In his angular face the grey eyes are set wide. They look past her, anticipating his flight down to the second floor.
