“Who’s there?” I whispered. “Is it you?”

But no one answered. Deferred passion could drive a man crazy. He would probably want klieg lights to match the intensity of his craving, and a million weird variations on the usual stuff. His sheets in the washing machine were green, I remembered. Small scattered flowers on a limitless green field.

I went back to bed and let my blood settle. Maybe it was my motherhood he coveted. There are men like that, childless themselves, who long for the affirmation of new life around them. Between a woman’s thighs they can either be coming or going, just delivered into the world or willing to leave it in one exquisite leap of desire.
