A quick hug
Even though I hesitated, I gave Jenna a quick hug and felt a tinge of emotion as tears welled up in her eyes when she said goodbye. The hug was awkward, tentative, but it spoke volumes. “Watch it,” I murmured, pulling back. Jenna smiled softly, tears glistening in her eyes. “I’ll see you tomorrow,” she replied, her voice full of gratitude. I turned back and left, the weight of our conversation still heavy on my shoulders.

A touching moment
Jenna’s hesitant reaction to the hug and her emotional state made the situation even more impressive when I promised to meet her the following day. She stood and watched me walk away. Her expression was a combination of relief and sadness. I assured her, “I’ll be there,” and made an effort to give her some comfort. Jenna nodded and smiled faintly. By the time I left, the emotional weight of our exchange had worn off.
