“And I really dedicated myself to her, to this place,” my friend at my part-time job says, sighing, “but now..., I just really need a break, physically and emotionally.”
“Can I give you a hug?” I say gently.
We hug, and I really concentrate to make sure I’m there, trying to give her a good hug, and she startles for a second, then relaxes.
When she steps back, she shakes her head and says, “Well, that was quite a jolt."
