Astonish Me - Pg 57

   In the dark, lying against his body as though it were a gently respiring bolster, she imagines she can feel his thoughts coming through his skin like a fever. She feels his disappointment, his accusatory argument that she had been willing to trick him into conceiving a baby when he was young and unprepared but now that he has spent five years proving himself as a husband and father, she is unmoved by his desire for another. She feels him criticizing her vanity, rejecting her concern for her body as unjustified, even pathetic, now that she doesn't perform. She feels his sadness that the family he imagined isn't to be. She feels his love grow less dense around her, like fog lifting.
   But, really, all she can feel is his breathing.
