'Go on,' said the small girl.
'Go on,' said the small girl.
'Touch your hand to your side of the screen,
'and I'll touch my hand to my side of the screen.'

I reached.
I pressed my hand to my side of the screenÂ
as she pressed her hand to her side of the screen.
as she pressed her hand to her side of the screen.
(Pause.)
And then I felt...
her skin!
Soft, and sweet. Kind, and warm.
(Pause.)
'How did you do that?' I gasped.
'I didn't do it,' she said.
'You did.'
