The taxi pulled up right in front of where Jennifer was sitting, and as she realized it was her little brother arriving, a huge smile appeared on her face as she stood up and started walking towards the cab. Though she didn't have to walk far, as out came a young teenage boy, who was both taller and had longer hair than he had back 4 years ago.
And after a moment of adjusting to the bright light, he focused his beautiful blue eyes on her. Jennifer didn't even have a chance to say anything before her little tearful brother came running towards her.
Jenn didn't waste a second as she opened her arms and allowed Erik to jump into her for a warm and tight hug. One he undoubtedly needed. Poor young boy was moving to a big new city, having to enroll in a new school and would also lose his parents for the next few years. Though it at least seemed like he was happy to see her again, and she was perhaps just as, if not more happy to see him again as well.
Jennifer picked him up and spun him around in their hug, before setting him down again and kissing his forehead.
"Oh my how you've grown! Aren't you growing into a handsome young man?" Jennifer said with a bright smile on her face as she hugged her dear baby brother tightly.
"How are you, Erik? Has your trip been alright?" Jennifer asked with a soft tone of voice as her hand went back to gently rub his back.
She wasn't going to break the hug. After all that Erik had been through the past couple of months, she had no doubts that he was in need of a warm and comforting hug. However long of a hug he needed, he'd get.
