It actually still felt like a dream. ‘I'm sorry you've been cutoff from the part of yourself, but that was the deal with your parents. ‘Omem pressed a kiss on her cheek. ‘You will be more attracted to magic and the magic will respond more to you.’ ‘Magic, Omem? I still don't know exactly what you mean by that! ‘Maddie looked at her.

Catori made eye contact with Kasa and looked away to the fresh carpet grass. “Do you want a hug? I think you need a hug. Come here.” Before Catori could refuse, her friend pulled her into one of her famous bear hugs. It did help and for a brief second, Catori allowed herself to embrace the warmth and security that came with it. She had no idea how Kasa did it but every time she hugged her, she felt a little less alone. It was refreshing. “That’s enough, Kasa.” Regardless, Catori struggled to pull away from the hug and couldn’t help smiling slightly.

I replied, my heart swelling with admiration for his understanding and acceptance of my complex personality. "Can I give you a hug, too?" he asked, his voice soft and tentative "I've missed holding you" Without uttering a word, I leaned in, and he opened his arms wide, welcoming me into his embrace. His hug was different from Diana's—while hers was full of maternal warmth and comfort, his was a blend of friendship, companionship, and a hint of something more. It was a hug that stirred a different set of emotions within me, ones that I was not yet ready to openly admit to him. But for that moment, I allowed myself to lean into his embrace, to draw strength from his presence, and to acknowledg

My kids didn’t have the same reservations as I did that this was true or the same concern about having to measure up to not just a deceased wife but to his soulmate. They launched themselves at poor unsuspecting Hale, hugging the air out of him. My kids have always been the aggressive hugger types. They will hug you like Elmyra from Tiny Toon Adventures if they hug you. I winced on Hale’s behalf as he and the armchair he was sitting in nearly toppled backward at the force of two hundred-ish combined pounds landing on him. They didn’t even say anything, just latched onto him, hugging him so tight he gasped for breath. “Ow…um… thanks. But think… you could let me… go? I… need air.”

Ace actually smiled — a rare, confusing, annoyingly attractive sight. “Alexia, sweetheart.” Vincenzo turned to me next, hugging me like I’d been part of the family for years. “Thanks for inviting me,” I said with a small smile. Zayn appeared out of nowhere, sweeping me into a tight hug. “My new favorite person!” Then Alex hugged me, then Arielle, then Ace’s mother — I was drowning in affection. What is it with hugs here? Is it a mandatory greeting? A family ritual? A cult requirement?

"Can I give you a hug?" "You don't need to ask, silly," I said, and we immediately embraced in a warm hug. "Oh, I love this reunion," Maggie said, making a tender pout. "But let me already congratulate my beautiful doll, I can't believe how much she's grown." "Auntie," I smiled. "Happy birthday, my precious, you know your aunt loves you like another daughter," she congratulated me amidst another tight hug. "I know, Aunt Maggie, I love you too," I said, and after her, the congratulations from the others followed.

I’m not sure what makes me do it, but I reach over and hug my roommate. “Thanks.” I’m surprised when her arms go around me too. “Thank you. I don’t think anyone has ever hugged me,” she says, making me pull back and look at her. “What?” She shrugs. “Hard to hug a dragon and the people I’m with sexually aren’t really interested in hugging, if you know what I mean. Hugs are nice. I like it,” she says. I wrap my arm around her waist. “Well then, we’ll just have to hug more,” I say.

EVA I WOKE UP and I felt someone hugging me and stroking my hair. I didn't open my eyes. Instead, I pressed myself against the stranger who was hugging me. They smell so good. Like vanilla, like my Amor. I pressed my face well into their neck, still, eyes closed. Their warmth is refreshing because it acts as a heater for my cold body. They even tightened their grip on me while rubbing my arm. They are very comforting. I don't want this moment to end.

Far down the pass, an explosion ripped through the snow, and the air filled with the scent of scorched flesh. From the smoke, more figures emerged — but these weren’t Bloodforged. They were guild fighters. Harlow was at the front, sabers gleaming. “Step away from him!” Varrow’s smirk didn’t falter. “Ah. The cavalry.” In the chaos that followed, Killian caught a flash of Daryl’s hand — slipping something small and dark into Varrow’s pocket before stepping back. A seed of magic. Timed magic. Killian realised it just as Varrow’s cloak flared, blocking his sight — and when it dropped again, both Varrow and Daryl were gone.
