Without a word, I grabbed my daughter and pulled her in for a hug. For a second, she was stiff, like I’d caught her by surprise. I probably had. But she relaxed and put her arms around me, hugging me back. There was my girl. I let her go and stepped back, acting casual, like hugging my little girl wasn’t oxygen to me.
Ok normally, I don't like stories with children but this is so sweet.
