CHAPTER 11

We spent the night together in her beach hut, with candles on the shelves and the breeze blowing in through the window. We made love again, though this time without quite so much time taxiing down the runway, and once again we were airborne and laughing and gazing at each other with such utter adoration.

What a splendid thing it is to be in love, when the slate is wiped clean and when all those past hurts and shattered dreams are forgotten in an instant.

We ate rolls and ham, and when the ham was finished, she opened up a tin of sardines, eating them whole and the olive oil dripping down her chest and I licked off every drop of it. I don’t know whether it was our love making or Cally herself, but I was suddenly ravenous. I ate a tin of corned beef with my bare fingers, dipping it into one of the chutneys and then tearing off great chunks with my teeth. It was not elegant, far from it, but it was in keeping with the general earthy mood of the evening.

And when we’d drunk the beer, we started on the red wine, and had drunk nearly two bottles of it before we made drowsy love for a third time, and yet again, she showed me sights that I had never seen and things that I had heard tale of, but had hitherto believed were the most fantastical fictions.

Rather, sex was there to be enjoyed, savoured, and in our time together, we gorged ourselves upon each other until we were sated to the last drop.

Before we fell asleep, we had cleared the bed as best we could of all the debris of bread and oil and ham, and then with Cally soft in my arms, we lay there as the candles flickered in the wind, and I watched as she closed her eyes with a contented smile upon her face.

We made love again in the middle of the night. The rapture of waking while it was still dark, and as I fumbled to get my bearings and work out where I was I realised that I was with Cally, and that she was in my arms and that we were by the sea, and that, very simply, everything was on offer. I kissed her and kissed her again and gradually she groaned and opened her eyes, and remembered
