I jumped out of bed. I was naked... I ran downstairs. All I could think of was to get away from the bed and daughterincest from him and his fingers. I pressed my back against the wall in the living room daughterincest and shook, from cold and the remnants of my desire." Later, daughterincest sans boyfriend, Kaysen reflects too briefly on how she's changed as her desire for sex evaporates, concluding, "when eros goes away, life gets dull."
