[It's odd to realize that she'd need this, something so simple as a hug from someone who knows her, someone she doesn't have to explain the last thirty years to, someone who has the same frame of reference, knows the same people, says the same things she's thinking. Luke and Han are a comfort because they come from the same world, but she doesn't hug them unless something has gone wrong.
She hadn't realized until now, with Poe's arms around her laughing against her hair, that she was homesick. When he pulls back she can smile at him, appreciate his jokes, and when he leaves his hands on her shoulders she can honestly say she's glad for the continued contact.
Which is new. Six months will make for a lot of change, it seems.]
I missed him too, so I hope you won't hold it against me if I steal him from you every now and then.
