My aunt, having lost her husband, lives alone—but she told me that once my niece gets into college, she’ll let her come stay at her place. The idea of living under the same roof as such a beautiful woman feels unreal, almost like a fantasy. There’s an unsettling, surreal atmosphere surrounding it all. Maybe it’s some impure emotion welling up from deep inside, but I can’t help feeling drawn to her, tempted by her very presence.
