No Hugs?

I came home from work bleary eyed but contemplative.
I stood in the doorway to the kitchen looking past everything in the room. When I noticed Abby, fresh off a late nap, looking back at me wondering where I was and what that meant for her movie I said without introduction

“Can I have a hug?”
long pause and then looking much like this picture she said very quietly into her hand…
“Mommy already gave you one.”

christmas 2005 with a particular look I required for this story.
