A meeting of thoughts.

Could changing her thoughts change the way she saw his intentions?      Should she step out from the shadows ... exposing herself to him, or surrender to a longing of independence.      What does all this mean; without the knowledge of the coming and goings in either her mind or that of both (and the authors?)    Ask yourself, can a thought be changed if the owner of that thought is under the age of 8, or over the age of ninety-eight?       Does independence of little knowledge when only 8, compare to the forgotten combined experiences with age.     Readers at 8 may use fingers to travel from word to word (written) across pages containing syllables and sketches — of familiar images (of the narrative,) when the ninety-eight year old skips unfamiliar words and phases using the excuse of tired eyes.     This returns us to the women in the shadows puzzled by the need to surrender herself to a stranger, and the need to change her thoughts.     Is the stranger aware of this women within the shadows and her struggle with changeable thoughts and her need to earn a living by coming out of the shadows when a stranger (of any age and nationality,) finds himself on the edge of a decision.      Rest assured these people of which we are discussing are neither 8 or ninety-eight ... she is seventeen.    Ah!: you not think (as I,) girls who are seventeen, are at their finest age ... is she a forgotten daughter of poor (or rich,) parents?  Yet we have no clues to this understanding ... just assumptions, based on other narratives, read and experiences learnt; so the reader can assume she is of that age.    He on the other hand could be between eighteen and ninety-eight — if one can believe a man of that age, would be out at this time of night.    Have we established the time of day?   No, we have not; we have assumed it is night, for shadows have been mentioned; to have shadows — there must be lights.      As a reader you may have an idea of the situation of which these two soles find themselves ... she a young women standing within a shadow, and he a male lurking on the edge of that very shadow.     How, could two people within touching distance, not be aware of each other's needs.   Yes; they are aware.     Humans, as all species (from the smallest creature to the largest,) all know when an attraction has been advertised; and so it is with these people.     No thoughts were changed, no surrendering was necessary, no independence (by either,) was forfeited, no harm to either was surrendered, just a moment in time — just physical contact for a monetary exchange took place.            'Evening,' was his first word from the other side of the light ... the single word floated through and into the dark, carry no more weight than a white feather.       Her perfume (we can imagine, of a cheap brand,) was the line drawn in the sand between her cervix and his sheath.    Are names required between lovers, engaged or married partners ... when under sheets of silk and upon pillows of lavender?      Maybe so in civilised encounters — within hotel walls with room service ... yet not in shadows off back streets of a major city.     The eighteen has not a name in her thoughts of this stranger who stands in the light.     It is independence of being able to expose herself; to receive a monetary reward in doing so for the short time of volubility and danger.         Ask yourself, does a touch to an eight year old girl, hold the same sensation, as the same touch to an eighteen year old girl ... given by a male a year either side of hers; different to a touch (to the same part of her body,) of a male twice her age?       Wait I hear you saying.      What if the person touching ... is of the same sex?
