My Dear Kat,
The sleeping together is a very strange and wonderful thing. I have never been big on touch – I have a massage certificate that’s a year old – but the experience of being in physical contact with you is very soothing. It occurs elsewhere, too; I love walking in step with you, holding hands or linking arms, it feels like we are in it together, that we act as one. I mean that literally; I get little flashes of union as we walk down the street, whether murmuring to one another or walking in silence. It is connecting at a very primal level. People stroke each other for comfort, hug each other for sympathy; ancient messages are passed, pre-dating language by millions of years, and you and I can hear and trust this unspoken communication.
