Alex stood at the door, then quickly walked towards Emily, who was sitting at the edge of the bed. Before she realized it, the man she had seen in the lobby held her close in his arms. The warmth of his body against hers seeped into her heart, bringing an unexpected comfort. A familiar scent surrounded her, and she subconsciously hugged him back. When she became aware of what she was doing and attempted to withdraw her hands, Alex lifted her effortlessly into his arms, standing up with a firm resolve.
