Zora’s POVOn Kairos’s assigned nights in my bed, we didn’t even speak. We didn’t need to, our bodies doing the talking for us. I knew to prepare by now, removing my underwear before his arrival and choosing to wear an old t-shirt or nightgown I didn’t care if he tore, because he so often did, unabl
