(Michael) ...begin caressing Tricia's neck and upper back
From Create Your Own Story
You begin caressing Tricia gently with your small hands. "Mmmmmmm," she murmurs. "Thank you, Michael. I don't need comforting, but I appreciate the thought."
Comforting? you think to yourself. Did she really think that's what I was trying to do?
Her hands stop moving and her even breathing indicates that she's asleep.
