“Sweetly, darkly, darling, read her poetry by the fire, make it smeared, smudged, and smokey like the shadow on her eyes.”
No.
Avery’s tongue zips along the back of her bottom teeth. “You know, the sweat of prolonged fear smells different. Probably more than sweat involved, maybe an infection.”
You can talk about that.

This was well done. I especially like how you write visually. Allows ones mind some great almost haunted images. 😉
