Her mind, when he touches it, is completely unstructured and crammed to bursting, it's racing between despair and excitement and confusion and determination without any logical progression from one to the next, it's snatches of the near future and the faraway past mingling almost indiscriminately. But she recognizes his touch, not as something familiar, but as something she wants, something she can hold onto, and quickly reaches out to meet it.

She clings to that point of contact as well as the fabric of his shirt, and moments later the flood of her thoughts calms down a little, becomes more focused on the present again. "Time is fluid," she points out with a tiny sad smile as though she's aware he'd said those exact words to her a while ago, and finally raises her gaze to meet his. The intense urgency has left her bearing for now and there's understanding in her eyes.

"But there is always hope. And I look forward to knowing you, Gabriel," she adds, giving him a small, genuine smile.
