A tale of the lone and the lonely.

Intimate and Injury

Friends

Bevin came back a week or two later with two other people.  A man and a woman.  I saw them disembark and wave to her as they walked down the gangplank.  I had the impression that Bevin and the woman were on intimate terms and the man was a little aloof.  Bevin leaned towards the woman while they walked while the man walked a half step ahead.  The four of them left the harbour together.  My friend told me they had rented a cottage in her row.  An artist and a writer, he said.  Creatives come to drink from our fountain of inspiration.  Our ice cold fountain, I joked.  I hope they drink lavishly from your fountain, I joked.  I remember that joke specifically.  Lavishly, I was proud of the word.  I think my friend nodded his approval.  The more I read the more I used clever words like that: reading improves your vocabulary.

thanks
