Good Morning, Midnight

by

Jean Rhys

Mr. Lawson is a man Sasha once dated very briefly. When they parted ways, Mr. Lawson told her to reach out if she ever passed through Brussels, where he lived. Later, Sasha and Enno were stranded in Brussels without any money, so she called on Mr. Lawson for some money. He agreed to give her some cash, but he also leveraged his power in the moment by kissing Sasha on the mouth. She was disgusted, but because she wanted the money, she kissed him back.
