EXAMPLE:
The tea had grown cold
but, after the storm, the weather remained humid. The heaviness in the air had
been born out of more than precipitation, however. My husband’s impatience had
sparked another argument; my words in return had done nothing to ease the turmoil.
Now, an hour later, the tea could no longer be enjoyed and, while I pretended
to sleep on the divan, Harry stood just outside our yacht’s living quarters, looking in. I
couldn’t see him, but I could sense him—the smell of his aftershave blending
with the scent of sand and seawater. I would, I decided, let him believe that I
had fallen to sleep easily, that his words had no effect on me. I would let him
believe that, like our final destination, my love remained just over the next
horizon. Then, perhaps, he would see things my way. Then, perhaps, my intense ardor for him might lessen. ~~ Eva Marie Everson
