Dream

I had this dream. I think it's from a movie scene.

I'm in a crowded place. Some sort of department store. Tall walls with shelves under high ceilings that you need a ladder to get wares from the upper half. I'm standing there, slightly confused and feeling a bit out of place. People whirl around me. Looking, talking and joking. All seemingly entirely in their element, they whirl around me as if there's an invisible bubble protecting me. As if I am invisible.

She comes up from behind. Gently, she puts her hand on the small of my back, and she leans in to tell me something. A hint of emotion decorates her face. I can't quite make out which. Consternation and content, perhaps. It is of utmost importance that she tells me this entirely unimportant thing. Me! Of all the people in all the worlds, she chose me.

Every discomfort disappears. Immediately I belong; I am at home and loved. She doesn't even know what she does.
