“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.” -Jodi Picoult

I need a great joke right now. I want to smile or even laugh so hard that my heart feels numb and my jaw hurts so bad. When tears slowly run down my face, people will think those are happy tears.

But maybe what I really need is a hug. That warm, gentle yet tight hug. A touch that lingers. No need for words. Just.

Hug me, please.
