Frank had never... «Cleopatra and Frankenstein»
kloynism26 мая 2023Frank had never particularly prized kindness in people. His motter hadn't taught him to, he supposed. He'd always been drawn to chais ters, people with talent or ambition of a taste for fun. The kind of people who, like Frank, tended to put themselves first. Even with Cleo, it was her intelligence and sexual charge he'd been drawn to; he'd never once considered whether she was a good person. Now, watching her pull scarves from her bag like a magician fourishing handkerchiefs from a hat, he realized he'd been wrong. Fun was fine when you were young, but as you got older it was kindness that counted, kindness that showed up.
