The hug was nice, even if it was brief and stiff. Anne chuckled to herself as they parted and Robin spoke. Things were coming back slowly to her, and one of the memories was the habit Robin had of putting his own feelings on others when he got uncomfortable. He didn't do it all of the time, but it was a quirk he had. She smiled at him while she listened to him. . .<br/>"I've always been a hugger, Uncle Robin. You are probably thinking about the summer I broke up with my boyfriend two weeks into the break. . . I was upset with the whole male species that summer!" She laughed deeply at the memory, happy to share her past with someone who had been there.<br/><br/>The wisp of hair that blew across her face was easy to ignore as she looked into Robin's face and drank in the details that up to a moment ago had only been a memory. Those eyes. . . they were deep and penetrating. He suddenly reached up and moved the stray strand from her face, giving it a gentle tug. Another memory brought back to life. This was a good moment.<br/><br/>She didn't realize she was staring until he spoke again. What had he said? Before she could think and process, he had turned and begun to walk back in the direction he had come. With an invitation to join him, Anne took a couple of jogging strides and fell into step with him. Where should she begin to answer his question?<br/><br/>She decided to begin with her choice of colleges, the untimely death of her parents when they were on their way to visit her at school, and then the death of her grandparents, the relocation of her business, and the move here to Eastport. There wasn't any need to go into great detail, just the important parts that had impacted her life choices and led her here. If they kept in touch, which she hoped they did, there would be time in the future for sharing details. Beside, there was so much she wanted to know about him. Anne wasn't sure if it was the sun that was warming her, or the thought of Robin. She wasn't a little girl anymore. She was a grown woman, and she had a different appreciation for Robin today than she had when she was younger.<br/><br/>"That's what's gone on with me over the past decade or so in a nutshell. What about you? Tell me about you."
