description: ' The juice is sharp on my tongue. In the old days I would have sprinkled it with sugar or dipped it in a saucerful of rum. I think about the airline sachets in my bag. But no. Sharp is what I need. Something to jar my numbed senses. I bite into the fruit and roll the black seeds around my teeth. Paul's face fills my mind..'from Lindsay's Ashford's Passion FruitWhat do you think of when you think of Indulgence ? Comfort ? Self-denial ? Obssession ?
