written on the body
Pg. 38:
"I used to think that Christ was wrong, impossibly hard, when he said that to imagine committing adultery was just as bad as doing it. But now, standing here in this familiar unviolated space, I have already altered my world and Jacqueline's world for ever. She doesn't know this yet. She doesn't know that there is today a revision of the map. That the territory she thought was her has been annexed. You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?"
