Melissa tugged on her brand-new velveteen shirt. Another date! She’d get asked about her week; how things had gone since last seeing him. When Robert touched her between the shoulder blades, Melissa hoped this soft shirt might entice her physical therapist to rest his palm there just—a little longer.

Shoshauna, this story touched me in ways you couldn’t imagine.
The authenticity made me cry–for all the widows in the world.
I hope this is the story of the week.
Clever
The flame still flickers
Well done, Shoshauna! Very poignant.
We never stop craving physical contact. Loved this story.
Lovely!
