- RORY -
I'm curled up in Luciano's arms like a cat. No one has ever held me like this. No one has ever looked at me like this. No one has ever… anything like Luci has.
We fit. Somehow we fit perfectly.
Despite what I said, I know I love him. It's this glimmering truth deep inside, like a precious jewel hidden in a dark cave. I can't dig it out yet, though. It's going to remain there for awhile, because I don't know how to give voice to it. It will sound awkward and insincere.
Luciano and I stay entangled like this for a long period. I can't discern if it's minutes or hours that have passed, because time seems irrelevant at this point.
A comfortable silence and peace has descended like gentle snow, blanketing us entirely from the rest of the world. And under it are only our bodies humming with satisfaction and our souls speaking in this way that apparently souls do… in a way that is felt rather than heard.
