She practically jumped into his arms.She jumped into him.

 

She ran to himm and jumped into his arms, while she wrapped her legs around him.

 

"I missed you so much!" her voice muffled, because she was nuzzling her face into his neck affectionately.

 

She started crying as he held onto her.He let her down and put his arms around her.

 

Brandon walked over to Ashley, while Ryan and Alexia were hugging.

 

"Let's give them some alone time,shall we?" Ashley told him,grabbing Dico by the hand and pulling him inside the house.

 

"I missed you too." Ryan told her still holding onto her."How long are you home for?"

 

"A week." she said."But I wish I could be home longer."

 

They stayed in each other's embrace for a little while longer.Then Ryan started to feel how cold his fingers and body were.

 

"We need to go inside before we freeze to death,Lexia"Ryan told her.

 

He let go of her and picked her up as she squealed with delight and surprise.

 

He carried her inside to the warmth of the house.
