"'What were you reading before I interrupted you? Can I see?'
Laurie kept his hand on the book covering the title. In his imagination the pages were printed not with their own paragraphs only, but with all that he himself had brought to them: it seemed as though he must be identified and revealed in them, beyond all pretense of detachment, as if they were a diary to which he had committed every secret of his heart."

Andrew: What's your book about?
Laurie, to himself, probably: The Phaedrus is about when you honour and worship the person you love above all things and they fill your soul but you pretend you're just friends, which is, coincidentally, the way I love you. Also did I mention it's about GAY love, that was a thing in ancient Greece, what a weird coincidence--
Laurie, out loud: It's about rhetoric.
