I turned and reached over,wrapping my arms around his all too stiff body. I hugged him, squeezing him as tightly as I could. And then I let him go before he overreacted and threw me off the rock. Daemon still didn't move. He stared at me, eyes wide, like he'd never been hugged before.
In the narrative from "Obsidian" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the protagonist experiences a moment of vulnerability as she attempts to comfort Daemon. She embraces him tightly, an action filled with both warmth and caution, knowing his usual reaction could be defensive. The hug is a significant gesture, reflecting her desire to connect despite his stiffness.
Daemon's frozen response, with his wide eyes suggesting surprise or disbelief at being hugged, reveals a deeper emotional layer to his character. This moment not only highlights the tension between their personalities but also hints at a potential for growth and intimacy in their relationship.
