The first steps towards a new relationship happen, almost without notice


A lingering look and a rare word of concern is all it takes for them.

Inexplicably, the looks begin to appear more often and the concern stops being quite so rare.

It's those looks that lead to an unexpected touch that's so welcome and feels so right.
