Touch (2014)
“It’s an expression that’s not at home on her face, but it’s also a gift: it gives Nathan something to do. He slides an arm around her shoulder, but it passes through her jacket, stopping at nothing solid in between.
But she can see him; she can hear him. She was never big on public displays of affection.
He can pretend—if he tries hard, and he does—that things are almost normal.
“What happened?” he asks, falling in to her left, on the road side of the walk.
“Mr. Taylor was in a ...car accident. They say it’s lucky he survived.”
He steers by walking ever so slightly ahead; he can tell by the flush in her cheeks that she’s cold. They used to spend time at the local Starbucks, and it’s close enough to dinner that it won’t be crowded. He doesn’t ask her why she’s not at home; he knows.
He doesn’t go home either. The reasons are different, but the end result is the same.MoreLess
