Chapter 56
A hint. A teasing glance. A subtle seduction. These are key to the art of the courtesan. When plying your arts, however, ward yourself against falling in love.
The emotional power of the truest love is often spoken of in water metaphors: a torrent, a raging waterfall, a tempest at sea. In truth, love is all and none of these things, but the courtesan should beware:
No matter how love is described, the danger of drowning is real.
