Katie looked up at Jack and asked hesitantly, "Um, can I have a hug?"
It was the first time any girl had asked him for a hug. Most of the time, they just hugged him without asking. Or rushed in as soon as he opened his arms.
He opened his arms, and she lurched forward and wrapped her arms around him.
As he wrapped his arms around her, returning her hug, he caught a pleasant fruity scent. He tilted his head down and pressed his cheek against her head and breathed in.
"Do you like it?" she asked.
"Yes, it's nice."
After a few moments, she pulled back and said, "I guess we should get going."
"Sure."
He turned and walked around the car towards the driver's side.
As he did, Katie opened the passenger-side door and got in.
While he was buckling up, she asked, "Did you really win this from Gregory Fletcher?"
