Everyone longed to be loved and Samantha was no different.
She was not asking for the love of a thousand people. All she wanted was for at least one person to stand on her side and fight against the evils of the world.
She could not help but stretch out her hand and return Old Madam Barker's hug firmly.
"Sob! I want a hug too!" Aunt Julia also stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged the two women.
The three of them seemed quite childish but their acts were just so comforting and warm.
Timothy inadvertently directed his gaze to Samantha's face, watching as her tears streamed down the corner of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
He raised his hand unconsciously.
By the time he had realized what he did, his fingertips had already touched Samantha's eyes and wiped her tears away.
Samantha was stunned and so was Timothy.
