Close Encounters
We let the darkness fill the quiet of the room. We lay there, lost in our own thoughts.
I broke the silence, "so how are you feeling about this trip?
"Scared, excited, happy, sad."
"Me too."
She reacted with a sharp intake of breath like my response has shocked her.
Very quietly she said, "Why?"
"Because we're both human."
She let the breath go, and reach across and hugged me.
Silence blanketed the room once again, and we remained in the darkness, lost in our own thoughts.

Beautifully written!
Not quite sure what to make of this.
But very HAPPY to see you posting!
There is much to be said for empathy, expressed. this is lovely. SO nice to see you. MUAH.
Such a sweet, tender moment.
I like the way this opened from darkness and silence, a few brief tender understandings then back to pensive reassurance in silence.
Lovely when there is a connection!
I actually held my breath for a second while reading that.
