[He leans his head over to the side where it can rest lightly atop hers]
You're just going to have to get used to it. [Julie retorts with a soft, breathless laugh. She shifts to look at him, then plants a quick kiss against his cheek.]

These small everyday affections between friends he's been starved of his whole life so each time his hand is taken or someone sits beside him without hesitation it feels like a monumental occurrence. So a hug or a kiss to the cheek seem like small cherished miracles.]

No you are not.
[He gives her hand a squeeze]
And I don't want to ever lose you either.
