When she is safe and alone with him, she feels at her most beautiful. She longs for his love and does not want to keep him at a distance. The closer he is to her, the better it feels to her. In those days, a woman would keep something precious under her clothes, between her breasts. This intimate place was one of the safest places to keep things. It is the place where no one else may look or feel. No one has access except the one: her husband. How good it is when he finds peace and quiet there with his head by her side. Then she presses him to her heart without any shame as the precious treasure of her life. How delightful it is when his body warmth thus mingles with hers.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh that lies between my breasts.
