Intimacy is that dizzying ride home after your high-octane night towards the inescapable lure of slumber – what have I done? How much cash did I burn on booze again? Will I get another tongue-lashing for going home barely an hour before daybreak? How will I drag myself through work?

The way intimacy transitions into reality gets cruel at times, and as you curl up half-sober in the backseat of a cab, you are soothed only by leaning your head on the window and feeling the cold, hard surface against your flushed cheeks.
