human-touch

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

The human touch is that little snippet of physical affection that brings a bit of comfort, support, and kindness. It doesn__ take much from the one who gives it, but can make a huge difference in the one who receives it.

All at once it seemed like too much of a betrayal to continue to pretend that his brother was delirious, hallucinating, not in his right mind. Lying when he was telling the truth. Maybe Kenzie was right-maybe secrets were more the problem than the solution.

Their musical connection was the closest he'd ever come to slacking his thirst for a human touch.
