Let's stand still in time --"One and One," Robert Miles

She had such lyrical laughter. It was almost ethereal, something you weren't likely to forget the sound of. And the purity of it – by God! So sweet, delicate, untainted... But she only laughed that way around her, no one else. Not even her mother. Hotaru always felt a sense of pride in knowing that it was hers to keep, to cherish, to never let go of. The giggling rarely came, but when it did, it was a sign of pure love, and as they lay on the floor of Hotaru's room, delicately sampling each other's mouths, it was like dying and going straight to Heaven.
