Christine yearns for their lives to flow together once again, just as their bodies melt in passionate embrace. But she dares not speak of Jesse's painful experience...and he is reluctant to intrude into her gentle world. They are united by a thousand shared thoughts and feelings, yet sometimes they seem like strangers as they struggle to reaffirm the deeply felt joy that once bound them so intimately together.
