Intimacy

A search for intimacy. Just prior to this moment, the distance between AL & AW is as vast as a cold, stormy ocean, and their souls as salty as the sea. Their minds, while each focused on their relationship, couldn’t be further away from one another. AW clinches tight to her Ainsworth secrets and AL second-guesses whether AW was someone she should have ever allowed access to her heart. AW glimpses her love, hunched and burdened, and this snaps her out of her troubled thoughts. She hurries to her, carrying bushels of reassurance and drops them at Anne's feet, hoping they will soak into her and bring her lover back to her. This reassurance seals the harrowing chasm between their hearts, urges them to touch, to hold, to face one another head-on, and to search each other's gaze for truth and hope. Once again, intimacy is restored.
