Affairs: Emotional, Mechanical, and Otherwise - All Fours Chapter 8

"He reached across the table and touched the back of his hand to the back of mine..." and so begins the erotically charged emotional affair between our main character and Davey. As readers, Amy and Tommy are pulled into the weightless madness that comes the realization that our feelings are mirrored by the object of our desire. As a long-time married couple, they examine this hilarious and sexy chapter from a healthy distance before the topic touches a little closer to the bone. They go off piste a bit to pan Babygirl, directed by Halina Reijn, then discuss the the All Fours narrator's use of time and touch on the never-ending  guilt of motherhood. Later, they stumble headfirst into uncharted territory. Yep, unscripted disclosures of heretofore secret emotional affairs. It's raw, it's juicy.
