How to use "Hug" in context?
I don't know if anyone has ever whispered "I love you" into your ear and meant it more than they could ever say with words, but if they haven't, they should try it. A hug is the best way to show that someone loves you. Whether you're fighting off a storm together or just taking a moment to relax in each other's embrace, a hug is the perfect way to show you care. And don't forget about the power of a good kiss to seal the deal.
