The Danish Girl Chapter 8

By David Ebershoff

Chapter 8

For their annual August holiday, Greta and Einar travel to Menton, a French harbor town.
Greta thinks Lili should see it, so Einar changes into Lili.
The two women go for a walk, but Greta has a surprise: She has found Hans and they are meeting him for lunch.
Lili is scared that Hans will recognize her as Einar, but he doesn't appear to. Lunch goes well.
That night, as they are in bed together, Einar is still Lili, and Greta wonders what it would be like to kiss Lili as she might kiss her husband.
But they do not kiss.
