He put a hand on it and felt something beat against his palm.

He could hear it, but there was no air pressure against his palms.

She found herself rubbing her face against his open palm and pulled back.

Turning back, he reached down and laid his hand against the old man's palm.

The little blanket of life was warm against her palms.

Then he picked it up, his fingers light and cool against Will's palm.

She began to tap the brush against her palm again.

He took the envelope from her hand and slapped it against his palm.

The trembling stopped, but she could still feel its heart beating against her palm.

She pressed against his palm, heat rising everywhere through her body now.
