HUGGING

At the hospital, everyone who hadn't been able to see Erika the previous day that she arrived was coming in today. As soon as she saw her best friend, they immediately jumped into each other's arms and hugged each other as tightly as possible without letting go until their hands gave out.

Tears of joy flowed from their eyes as they resumed their hugs when they felt the blood flow back into their hands.

The elderly couple smiled at the two women and could only release a sigh of relief. Their Erika was back with them now and nothing could ruin this happiness of theirs anymore.

Even though Ethan didn't quite remember all the faces of the people in the room, his mom and the others had already explained to him that they were all his family members and that he shouldn't keep his guard up all the time that they were around which was why he had relaxed and why Monica hugged Erika so tightly.
