Nothing To Lose But My Life (1985) - Plot & Excerpts
She made me angry, knowing that I would come without even a struggle. I let her draw my head down on her breast. Suddenly I was tired, my anger gone. It was very nice being there. I could feel the throb of her heart and I could smell the scent I associated with her. I thought, You’re being the complete sucker, Lowry. Aloud, I said, “What if Enid should come in?” “She’s too much asleep. I’ve seen her this way before. She might as well have taken sleeping pills. Don’t worry, Lowry. I know she had a crush on you, but we won’t destroy any of her illusions.” There was something hypnotic about her soft, husky voice, about the touch of her hands caressing my forehead. And it all seemed genuine. If Tanya was putting it on, then she was the world’s best actress. Or maybe I wanted to think that she felt this way about me. I forced myself to say, “I still need Enid. She’s my pipeline.” “You don’t trust me, do you, Lowry?” “No, sorry.” “Because I won’t tell you what I can’t—yet?”
