Moon Shell Beach: a Novel
“Adam was taller, wider, and more massive than Jesse. Next to him, Clare felt petite and somehow younger, more delicate. Adam touched her more than Jesse had—he kissed her passionately in the morning, he rubbed her feet at night, sending her into swoons of delight, and when they watched TV, he pulled her against him, so that she nestled between his arm and his chest.
He talked to her more than Jesse did, too. He had opinions about national and town politics. He regaled her with humorous anecdote...s about his furry and feathery patients. He asked her about her day, and he paid attention, he listened, he remembered. He said, “So did the chocolate baskets sell as well as you’d hoped?” It was lovely to have a man care so much about what she did and said.
He spent almost every night at her house. Her father liked him, and Ralphie adored him, and Clare loved seeing him at her table. Some nights he brought take-out so she didn’t have to cook; he never expected her to cook. He brought her little gifts from time to time—roses, or a good bottle of wine, or a bit of costume jewelry that caught his eye in a shop window.MoreLess
