Here it is, Santa Monica, I told you.
Hux's place is just down there, past that hill. It's like a stack of boxes, full of surprises. Some movie actor lives downstairs.
His girlfriend too. I saw them lifting weights one night.
Lea? Lea’s thoughtful, soft.
It's going to be a good marriage,
Hux's third I think. He must be close to sixty now. These late marriages: the wedding nights must be so odd.
Desire?
Of course desire, it's always there. But something else, a kind of awe: all those years of slowly dying
in singles bars,
and here you are,
starting out your life once more
with someone that you barely know.
