He reached across with his left hand and stroked her hair.
He sat down on a chair and stroked her hair.
She asked me what was wrong and stroked my hair.
He held me close and stroked my hair for a long time.
But it had been another woman's hand stroking his hair.
When I was still, she began stroking my hair, again.
He reached out and stroked my hair without saying anything.
He stroked my hair, as his other arm held me close.
She stroked his hair while he tried to think of what to say.
In a moment I felt a hand stroking my hair.
