Each week we will publish our "Photo of the Week" and release a story which either describes how it was taken or a story inspired by it. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as the indulgence we feel sharing them.

The Cinema



Bathed in cinema light, their hands meet and instinctively wrap around each other. This isn't supposed to happen. They are just friends.

Both concede the breach with the gentle squeeze reserved only for lovers. In the darkness, cool exteriors melt and hearts flood.

Boldly.

He runs his thumb against her exposed finger. He hears the almost inperceptible change of breath in her.

Intensifies.

Then there is nothing. He is oblivious to the movie as its story unfolds. Deaf to the random giggle of other patrons. Neither move. Neither dare break that hold, in case the moment is lost.

And then he decides.

He turns to her. In the flickering light reflecting on her face, he knows. With his free hand, he reaches out as he leans toward her. At base of ear and along her neck, his touch softly encourages her to surrender the distance he cannot reach.

She does.

And their forever starts.
