She came up to me and put her arms around me, under my t shirt and held me. "I cant tell you how much I missed you", she said.

I held her in the same way, stroking her back. As there were other people, I was concerned about how not to let this encounter out. We were under a cover, like a sheet, and it was clear others could not see our hug, and did not really make much of what was going on.

I woke and and thought, I would ask her, "What are we going to do?"
She would say "Nothing, I want to keep it this way."
Clever, I thought.
