_____We were driving up a steep hill.
"So.
You were engaged to my boyfriend's cousin but are no longer?"
she asked.

I looked out the window. There was no rail on the narrow road -
nothing but sky between us and the blue water far below.
"The man you were with on the beach is your boyfriend?" I asked

"Perhaps I am speaking precipitously," she said.
_____"I can think of nothing but the way he slipped up inside of me --
slowly deliberately, over and over_____ all night long --
until I lay exhausted. My thighs like jelly.
You cannot imagine what it was like."
