“Hi,” he forces a smile, one that only just barely triggers his dimples, and then gets real weird as he holds his giant hand out for her to ignore completely. She goes in for a hug, her head only coming up to his broad chest, and he panics a bit. His eyes widen and his movements are choppy as he half-asses a one-armed hug. I warned him this would happen, but I don’t think he believed me.
