Touch

'Go on,' said the small girl.
'Go on,' said the small girl.
'Touch your hand to your side of the screen,
'and I'll touch my hand to my side.'
(Pause.)
I reached.
I pressed my hand to my side of the screen,
she pressed her hand to her side.
she pressed her hand to her side.
(Pause.)
And then I felt...
her skin!
So soft and sweet! So kind and warm!
(Pause.)
'How did you do that?' I gasped.
'I didn't do it,' she said.
'You did.'
