The moment when my hands stopped waiting for permission from my thinking, when Treivae was there too, and we both just knew what the next motion was without naming it first. The feeling of two people's hands moving in the same rhythm because they're present, not because they planned it. The shape of that, not the whole picture, just the weight and warmth and the motion itself.
