Quotes about:

• She glanced up at him, and in that moment he pulled his wet shirt over his head. She forced her mind blank. Blank as a new sheet of paper, blank as a starless sky.

The goose would be delicious, they must eat as much of it as possible, they must not waste it; she thought about that.
