301--Friendship

[The desks are all gone, the room is open. There are snacks at the front of the room]

Today we are going to touch. Friendship and intimacy is often conveyed through non-sexual sensual experience. We hug, we kiss, we lean on one another [Looks at Chip]...and we express our closeness in a miriad of ways, everyday.

Ok, so as always, no forced participation, but please move around the room talking to one another and make physical contact in some way. Skin to skin...for example, holding hands, would be best...but do only what you are comfortable with [Looks at Rory]. I'm in on this too, so don't feel like I'm putting you on the spot.

Oh, and just a note...I don't care about your grades in other classes, and whatever you may have been commanded to do by another ethical student or instructor is null and void inside this classroom.

Ok, gang. Go.

[Drops her voice lower] You're welcome Elizabeth...and I'm serous. When you talk to Dream, ask if he thinks it would be a good idea. And I think you need to call me CJ from now on...friend. [She wraps her arms around E and pulls her into a warm and tender hug]

[rubbing her back lightly] We'll get you through this, hon. Don't worry about that. I promise you'll come though it.

*Elizabeth nods again, remembering how her mother had used to comfort her like this when she had been little*

[CJ holds her until Elizabeth decides when to break the hug]

*Elizabeth pulls away after a minute or so, her eyes glistening slightly*

Thank you, CJ
