The Gentle Touch

Unlike the other two at this age, when Z touches my cheek, she's very gentle, doesn't scratch or claw. I don't understand the difference, but even she won't clamp down on my finger when I'm feeling for swollen gums. Sometimes she'll hold my face between her two hands and look into my eyes, and for those few seconds, I think, You've got me wrapped around your little finger, baby.
