Synopsis
Temporary Intimacies is a collection of fourteen interconnected stories about the people we become in the presence of strangers.
Set in the world of paid companionship, these stories move beyond cliché to explore loneliness, connection, identity, and the quiet search for belonging. A psychologist reconnects with a former client in unexpected circumstances. A regular Friday appointment becomes a ritual neither participant fully understands. A lonely man mistakes intimacy for love. A woman leaving sex work discovers that some goodbyes are harder than others.
Funny, bittersweet, and deeply compassionate, the collection inhabits the space between performance and authenticity, where people often reveal their truest selves. Its characters are flawed, hopeful, awkward, generous, and unmistakably human.
At its heart, Temporary Intimacies is about connection: the fleeting encounters that comfort us, the relationships that shape us, and the invisible threads linking people who might otherwise remain strangers.
