“From that emerald tub I’d step, smelling sweet of flowered perfume, and my skin soft as satin, and my pores would be forever cleansed of the rotten stench of dry old wood and attic dust permeated with all the miseries of antiquity . . . so that we, who were young, smelled as old as this house.”

So real Cathy

“I know I shouldn’t be, but you look so beautiful. It’s like I never saw you before. How did you grow so lovely, when I was here all the time?”

PART 1 OVER 🥳

I kept seeing stains on the sheets, and they weren’t large enough to be another of Cory’s dreams of going to the bathroom. They were on Chris’s side of the bed. “For heaven’s sakes, Chris. I sure hope you don’t take to dreaming of being in the bathroom while you’re still asleep in bed.”
I just couldn’t believe his fantastic tale of something he called “nocturnal emissions!”

Oh!

“This is not a pretty house. It’s grand, it’s big, it’s beautiful, but I wouldn’t call it pretty.”

“I want you to make me feel I was there with you, at your side, seeing and feeling what you did.”
He turned his head so our eyes locked and he said in the weirdest voice, “You were there beside me. I felt you there, holding onto my hand, whispering in my ear, and I looked all the harder, just so you could see what I did.”

Things might be picking up now. 👀 Cruel Corinne and Cathy and Chris going through puberty? 😬

Christopher is my fav so far
