I
remember her grasping a small section of hair between her index
finger and thumb, twirling it around and around, rubbing the silky
strands- back and forth, back and forth. Palm facing forward, her
fingers forming graceful arks, the hair never touching her ring or
pinky fingers, she ties it in a little knot smoothing each strand
until it is a silky ribbon. Her hazel eyes stare through the rocking
chair across the room in a sort of peaceful concentration- her mind
wanders far, far away. Twirling her hair was something she did
mindlessly, her fingers did it without command.
(I am ridiculously behind, but i'll catch up! promise!)
I like this. :)
