"Oooh, hugs," Ellie said with a happy grin, wrapping her arms easily around Alfie's waist and pulling tight against him. It was comforting to her that they still did this. He was her twin and one of her best friends and she really didn't want to imagine what it would be like if he thought it was too awkward or embarrassing to hug her. Ellie could easily remember all that times she'd sought him out just because she needed (or wanted) a hug. "So you mean you aren't trying to drag us out into the cold to chat like I did Dorny? But I'm all for a trip to the kitchens before curfew when we come back! We can get cocoa."
