Saul gasped when he was hugged suddenly; he expected her to be fast asleep. After a second, he hugged her back. She felt very warm, her bare back smooth against his palms. He was embarrassed, yes, that she was holding her naked body against him. He had never really seen a naked woman, and even if she was not as developed as Mikki or most of the other girls in his class, it didn't matter. She needed comfort, and he was there to give it to her. He was uncertain of what she meant by staying with her. "I've been here almost since you went to bed." He said, trying to be quiet so Mikki wouldn't wake up.
