Approach
From a distance, she observes his movements.
Each one seems so familiar to her, even though she knows she's only seeing him in her mind's eye.
She approaches quietly,
almost silently, so that even her own breathing is barely audible. The silhouette in front of her takes on more shape with each step. Just a little further... then she can almost feel his presence.
His scent.
His warmth.
Maybe even his breath.
Her heart beats faster.
Just a little closer.
Then her f****rtips touch his warm back.
Very gently at first.
The skin under her f****rs seems to glow and she lets her hand rest there for a moment, as if she needs to make sure he's really there.
"I'm here," she whispers.
Her hands slowly wander along his arms. Not hastily. More like she's savoring every moment.
Then she leans towards him.
Her lips gently touch his shoulder.
Only for a moment.
But she feels him take a breath.
For a moment, everything is still.
Then she hears her name.
Softly. Almost just a whisper.
And suddenly, this one moment feels much more real than any thought before.
