She looked at him in her bed, He was waiting for her to come to bed with him. He had left his room and came to hers, “Come on just come and lay with me; lets cuddle.”

She looked at him not sure if all he wanted to do was cuddle. “All I want to do is cuddle on this cold day with you. Hold you tight and take care of you.”

She stayed where she stood, “I need someone that can do that for me but…”

He sat up more in the bed, “But what? All I want to do is make you feel like you’re on top of the world. I just want to hold you close and tight to me. Let me take care of you.”

She looked at him, “Don’t make a promise you can’t keep. I haven’t had someone hold me in a very long time. I have learned to live without it. That was a hard the first time and I don’t want to have to do it again.”
