Love, let's talk about love
It was possibly the most awkward hug she had ever experienced in her life. But how it could be made less so was beyond Seren. Stiff and tense and barely breathing, she let herself be pulled in against Sah, yielding to his gentle prompting like a doll cut loose from its strings.
He smelled nice. Maybe it was the peppermint bark or some lingering trace of Halo frost about him, but she found herself breathing a little easier. Curious, how easy it was to settle her head against his shoulder; her thoughts flitted hectically to other men she had hugged - her father, Remi, her uncles - but the similarities did not make this feel any more familiar.
Seren slowly began to relax. Her heart kept pounding like a sledgehammer in her chest, face burning like she had been asleep in the sun for hours - but despite that she managed to settle in against Sah. Secure, with his arm about her; had they really only known each other for mere hours?
"Thank you," she found herself murmuring, soft and definitely shy.

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
