Sarah placed the book back down on the bed, careful not to make any sudden movements. Laura's body was slack against her own, and Sarah's throat closed tight as she remembered the way it had been in the past; how she would have to nudge Laura off of her, firmly. But now there was no need for that, and so she rolled her shoulder back and reached out an arm, gently wrapping it around Laura's shoulders.

She shifted a little she that she could pull Laura closer to her, but didn't put the other arm around her, yet. She didn't want Laura to feel closed in, as if she was being restrained. It was nice, sitting like that, and she brushed her fingers lightly across the side of Laura's upper-arm, enjoying the silence.
