“And when a real monster showed up…I just ran away…” She turned her head over to you, closing her eyes with a gentle smile on her face. It shocked you how she could talk about such a sad event so calmly. Your heart ached for her. You just wanted her to be happy…

The back of your hand gently caressed her cheek. Immediately she grabbed it and held onto it. She was touch starved and you knew it. She looked up at you and smiled. Her eyes looked liked a puppy’s. Her gentle smiled got a little wider. Your heart just melted at the sight. You returned the gesture, your hand holding her’s as well as the light from the sunset danced over her face and figure.
