Twisted into a comfortable, blanketed position, the couch has engulfed her in its plush. While her thumb supports the underside of her bottom lip, her index finger gently rubs the plump, fleshy area on top. Her other hand cradles a weathered book, one whose faded cover tells of a lifetime of pleasured reading sessions, having proudly assumed the title of her "favorite". Her eyes continue to dart across the page, back and forth, as she consumes the words of the novel. As she reaches "The Moment" she fawns, her eyes gently close, and the corners of her lips turn upwards in a show of pleasured bliss. Reveling in the visions playing in her mind, she lays her head back on the couch. Her chest rises as she draws in a contentful, deep breath and pulling her head back upwards, she softly finishes the quote, in a whisper "how ardently I admire and love you". Sighing, she returns her attention back to the book and softly caresses the pages as her eyes return to their darting rhythm.

PROMPT: Describe, in detail, a half minute of watching someone. ( Don't describe you watching them. Instead, describe what you see as if you are a narrator.) (Prompt was pulled from a club forum on www.hexrpg.com )
