Our Relationship

I suddenly found myself in a position to observe her secretly, without disturbing anything in our relationship …  I felt somewhat superior, as I knew what she was thinking, and looked at her freely, but she could not see me. She saw nothing of me and knew nothing about me. This was an advantage we might often desire, but seldom receive.

It was man’s ancient desire to be invisible. Yet I did not do anything improper, I watched her, calm and composed, and I knew I would not have a single thought that I would remember with shame.
