have　the　need　to　touch　and　be　touched。〃　He　took　her　hand　between　his

two。　Anne　refused　to　be　distracted。　〃Are　there　other　twins　in　the

family？〃

He　shook　his　head。　〃Just　Liz　and　me。〃

〃Liz？〃　A　bell　rang。　She　smiled　when　Mitch　realized　his　slip。　〃Hmmmm　。。。

Liz；〃　she　repeated　with　an　accusing　lilt。

He　grew　sheepish。　〃Now　you　know　my　secrets。〃

〃That　was　Liz　with　you　at　the　restaurant　before　Christmas。〃

〃Uh…huh。〃

〃Is　she　married？〃

〃It　didnt　work　out。　But　lately　shes　been　seeing　a　nice　guy。〃

〃What　does　she　do　with　her　music？〃

〃Actually；　shes　more　a　harpist　than　a　pianist。〃

〃Beautiful！〃　Anne　exclaimed。

〃Not　while　she　was　first　learning；〃　he　muttered。

Anne　gave　him　a　nudge。　〃Youre　jealous　of　her　talent。〃

〃Maybe。〃　He　raised　her　hand　and　kissed　her　fingers　in　true　continental

style；　then　left　her　alone　to　rest。

That　night　Anne　had　a　nightmare。　It　was　more　frightening　than　any　shed

had　since　shed　been　a　child。　Bolting　upright　in　bed；　drenched　in　a　cold

sweat；　she　struggled　to　catch　her　breath　until　Mitchs　arms　came　around

her。

〃What　is　it；　honey？〃　he　asked　in　alarm。　The　room　was　dim；　bathed　eerily

in　the　blue　light　of　the　moon　as　it　spilled　over　the　snow　in　the　yard。

〃A　nightmare。　Oh；　God；　it　was　awful。〃　She　trembled　in　spite　of　his

steadying　hold。

〃Want　to　tell　me　about　it？〃

〃Its　that　court　case　hanging　over　my　head。〃

〃What　court　case？〃

〃The　accident。　My　husbands　family　has　been　pushing　me　to　sue　for

negligence。　I　agreed　at　first　because　I　was　as　angry　as　they　were　and　we

were　all　so　helpless。　Now　Id　rather　put　the　whole　thing　behind　me。〃

Mitch　was　silent　for　a　time。　〃And　the　nightmare？〃　he　asked　quietly。　His

arms　were　exquisitely　tender　as　they　held　her　to　his　chest。

She　took　a　shuddering　breath。　〃I　dreamed　I　was　on　that　plane　with　Jeff

when　it　crashed；　but　that　I　wasnt　injured　and　had　to　stand　by　and　watch

while　he　burned　to　death。　There　were　no　doctors；　no　medics；　nothing　but

flames　and　smoke　and　debris　and　peoples　screams。〃　She　buried　her　face
