At O'Hare international Airport, Chicago, Theo finds Larry, through the crowd at the gate and they embrace.

"Mmmm, it's good to see you, I missed you," Says Theo.

Larry replies, "Well, it's nice to feel more of you at once now. That was a truly odd experience feeling you through that 'window ' of Steve's touch-pad."

Theo lowers her voice, "I have to admit I was a little surprised at how much I wanted to press my naked body into that screen. And then I realized how public we were!"

"I know what you mean," Larry agrees, " It's almost spooky now. It almost felt more intimate than being together in person."
