Reader Confessions: a blackout, a humid jungle villa, a neighbouring balcony a few metres away, and a woman who finally says what she wants.
A couple, a hotel suite in Quito and one simple agreement: tonight, she gives the instructions.

A hotel bar in Cuenca, a stranger across the room and the long, delicious hour before anyone says a word.
Intimacy is built in the quiet moments. Here are a few worth keeping.
