“I could feel my body once more and it did not feel unfinished, as it always did with Ciaran. It did not feel like something that had been forgotten about in the middle of creation, did not feel like a hasty sketch without the proper lines put in. It didn’t feel in wait. I felt it slide, slick and friendly, against Reuben’s and the flesh didn’t seem spare but instead put to good use."
