Dorris laid her head on Bill's shoulder as if she is not on her natural self mode. The old her would never do this to anyone. However, what she cannot understand now is that she naturally depended on him at this time. Her heart is so soft towards him, feeling that he would never hurt her and that he would always protect her. What amazed her more is that the moment she laid her head on his shoulder, she felt unexplainable peace deep inside, that peace that she never felt eversince. She never knew that she has been longing for this kind of feeling before. Slowly, their fingers touched. It seems that Bill is also waiting for a hint of resistance from her. When he felt none, he continued touching her hand until their fingers interlinked tightly, filling the gap between the fingers.
