I'm walking back from the vets with graeme, he and i are both humming the same tune. Kelly is on my left, graeme on my right.
He holds out his arm, in the manner of a gentleman, for me to take, so he can guide me across the road.
I rest my fingers on his arm, and then slide them down to his hand. At this point i become nervous, as he wants to cross the road on a green light, and it's very busy, and i can feel kelly watching us, although i keep my gaze straight ahead of me.
'this is unreal' i can recall thinking.
I concentrate on graeme holding my fingertips, and kelly 'disappearing'. i just feel like she has no part of this anymore, and she shouldn't be there...
by the time i've crossed the street with graeme, she's gone.
as she begins to fade, he rests his hand against mine, palm to palm, and very slowly locks my fingers through his. By this time i am fully lucid, and enjoying the sensation of touch, just as i do in life.
when he's holding my hand, i suddenly feel a soaring happiness, and then i lose it!!
