I like how complex the relationship between each family member of sonia’s are right now — like how papa is offering the marriage arrangement.. but was like “he can be a friend at NY too” like at the very least he is really thinking of the best for sonia “becoming prime minister or otherwise”, “better stay in US to be freer than india or return and be proud of you still”

“No, I won’t tell you, or my painting will lose its power, but know I am painting a good painting. When I am painting beautifully, my saliva feels holy and my ears feel dusted with pepper. But if I lose my energy, or my painting loses its secret mystery, I will retaliate. And I like you, I want you here, I want to take your nipple and pull it into my mouth!” Honestly wtf are you on.

Can I at least know your name?” Oh so good.

“This body is but a wave in the ocean of me.” Oh this too

“You cool my forehead with a barrel of gunmetal..” why does this phrase (not even the full sentence) sounds delish to me
