In a few moments I felt a figure beside me again.

So she knew the moment something changed; felt the presence of someone else beside her, before he even moved and closed the door.

Then he felt her, not beside him, but in his mind.

I'm not sure why, only that it had never seemed necessary and maybe even felt beside the point.

Even so, she always made him feel a child beside her.

In a moment he felt the big man's presence beside him.

Still, it felt big and empty without him there beside her.

As it was, I still felt kind of alone, even with them walking right beside me.

But she would work better feeling his presence beside her.

But in a moment I felt a body beside me.
