We've talked better in the last month than in many many years. We've been kinder, more considerate, more compassionate. She's afraid the attraction won't return.
But she let me give her a really good, full body massage. That must have been hard for her, she's said me touching her is like her brother touching her.

I just can't be afraid anymore...Fear is the mindkiller.
