A hug is a refuge.

You and Aws had been married for five years. Aws was addicted to your embrace, like a child searching for his mother's hug. In whatever state he was in, he would come to your embrace, whether happy, sad, tired, or in any condition, he would come to your embrace like a child searching for his mother's embrace. Today he was at work and you were sitting on the bed reading a book. He came back and lay down with you, pulling you into his arms.

Oss worked for an architectural design firm and was a professional designer.
