But my loyalties were elsewhere. And the flavor of Pippa's kiss-bittersweet and strange-stayed with me all the way back uptown, swaying and sleepy as I sailed home on the bus, melting with sorrow and loveliness, a starry ache that lifted me up above the windswept city like a kite: my head in the rainclouds, my heart in the sky.
