Nestled next to me, she nodded. Im fine. As long as I take the medicine. So dont worry. She leaned her head back against my shoulder. But dont ask me anything, okay? Why that happened.Understood. No questions, I said.Thank you very much for today, she said.What part of today?For taking me to the river. For giving me water from your mouth. For putting up with me.I looked at her. Her lips were right in front of me. The lips I had kissed as I gave her water. And once more those lips seemed to be seeking me. Slightly parted, with her beautiful white teeth barely visible. I could still feel her soft tongue, which Id touched slightly as I gave her water. I found it hard to breathe, and I couldnt think. My body burned. She wants me, I thought. And I want her.
