Or maybe the spectacle was, simply put: intimate. Belonging to someone else. A person she would never know, whose entire room on sunny days is stained pink when the curtains are drawn. Walls blushing. Inside looking like insides.

It still isn't clear to her what turns her on. Though just recently, while going for a walk, she spotted a stranger's pale rose curtains from the street.

Writing does the same thing. It lays siege."
