This was fantastic. Claire's longing, and desperation, and shame came across so clearly, and were so completely and heartbreakingly Claire. After Echo's gestures of caring, and going so long hiding in the shadows I could totally see her doing something so desperate, just to feel again.
Echo's innocence mixed with her adult sexuality, was perfect creepy and appealing. The single-minded focus and devotion that she dedicates to Claire, is so appealing, but knowing why she's like that makes it so wrong, and yet ...
The conversation between Adelle and Claire at the end was also very intriguing.
True feelings were stronger anyway without the complexity of language.
Brilliant last line!
Thanks so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed it :D
