50 Shades of Week: Jan. 29- Feb. 4, 2017

‘The feeling of intense joy at sacrifice & action, that you can be a part of shoving the fulcrum of history toward its natural conclusion gives way to a realization that it’s a pendulum swinging back, and no matter how much you put your shoulder into it, you’re too small against this bigger thing. You & everyone you know & care for are too small for this thing.’

1. I raise my eyebrows.
2. It’s almost embarrassing to witness.
3. ‘You’re tired.’
4. ‘Did you get me tipsy on purpose?’
5. Pilot?
6. ‘And please, let’s try it for three months.’
7. I feel unbearably shy when I open the door.
