After the meeting
"I almost want a hot shower, Jake mentioned running water, and heat. But I'd rather just, cuddle right now." She almost wanted to ask if Ruby could come cuddle with them, was he still small enough to do that? But she didn't. Instead she eased the offered bit of silk over her head, and let it slide down.
Hope stepped closer, sliding her arms around his neck, as she settled her head against his shoulder. She had missed him. Missed his smell.
