I love the eagerness for something new, eating the first one over the sink —and then the time to move on…seems like a nod to the brilliance of seasons! Big hug besutiful writer!

I had never heard of a pomelo before this. Now id like to try. Your brief affair sounds as intense, lustfull and cathartic as the best flings tend to be. Making a note to someday use: "he felt as empty and unwanted as a half eaten pomelo discarded at the back of the fridge for two weeks too long."

They are delicious but only in the winter when they’re in season. I’ll have to ship one over to you in England.
