                                   her green eyes glinted

                                       he walked towards where she sat at the dresser

                in the mirror

And our bodies very similar.

                                her chemise   implicit

standing directly behind her did not once shift her body  he looked over her shoulderdown into her sugarbrown cleavage

    her chemise   explicit

Who was who

                 the ask  which did what

her terrific smile blossomed like suddenredrose

he put a hand on one shoulder

                              ran his thumb from the nape of her neck to her jaw her cheek  her dimple
