Carlos was breathing heavy, his arm securely around my waist and not showing any signs of letting me go. Looking at River and Mom in panic, I felt my eyes on the verge of tears. I had never felt so scared in all my life. Carlos’ claws were piercing my gold sequin dress and soon it could be piercing my skin.

A few moments later I felt another hand slide into mine. Out of all the hands I felt, this one felt the most welcoming. Butterflies, no large birds soared in my stomach, it took me to a place of comfort I never knew. My chest felt warm and I could almost feel love in it. Love in touch, it was something unheard of.
