A Very Nice Girl

Helen Borham

Beatriz Salvador 

And maybe tonight is enough, after all, because I like to be free. I like to wake up in the night alone, to open the window and feel the air on my face and not to worry about disturbing him, to turn on the light if I can't sleep, read my book, watch TV, lie awake and have no one ask me what I'm thinking. The days that are mine and no one else's. Not worrying about another person and what they want. Not muting my colour to match someone else's. No one there in the morning to know what I look like when I sleep, un-made-up and unguarded.
