He asks you to come closer in bed because there’s something he wants to read to you. He chose it because it helps him put words to what he once felt before the two of you were together, all that longing, all that yearning, and the ache of loving someone when you’re not sure you’ll ever really have them. It’s a love nearly lost, and then found again. Let him read to you softly, tell you how deeply he once wanted you, and then make love to you like finally finding your way back to each other still feels a little unreal.
Includes a reading of Wentworth’s letter from Jane Austen’s Persuasion.
