That day I had a sign that said 'free hugs', no one came, which made me very sad, then... Then she came.

"Can I have a hug?" I still remember her so shy request, her so gentle voice, her sweet smile, and I fell in love with her quickly.

I still don't know where I found the courage to declare myself, nor how I was so lucky to have won her over and made her my girlfriend.

Now...Now that I hold her in my arms, while she snuggles in my arms, almost hiding next to me, she is... So different, she is so fragile as I caress her soft and silky hair. "It's okay, little cupcake, my brothers are searching everything, if the Foot Clan was here they will find traces and then we will think about what to do." I whispered, placing a finger under her chin and lifting her face to look into my eyes and seeing that desperately scared look destroyed me, broke my heart. "Cupcake, everything will be fine, I promise. Dad agreed to let you stay with us in case of problems...Calm down, cupcake..." I whispered, holding her protectively and cradling her gently.
