Holding Hands (Jardougall)

"Release my hand," I groaned at Vic.

"Come on," he said, begging slightly. I rolled my eyes and sighed in the plane seat as Vic grabbed my hand again. "Like I was saying: holding hands can mean different things. If I hold your hand like this,"--Vic wrapped his hand around mine, our palms pressed together--"then it's a friendly hold. It means I don't really have any romantic feelings for you. If I hold it like this,"--he simply rested his hand on top of mine and gave me a false sympathetic look--"I'm here for you," he said, causing me to laugh. "And if I hold it like this,"--Vic intertwined our fingers--"that's the romantic hand-hold. It means that I'm happy to be showing you off in public."
