Aveline felt the goosebumps rise on her skin once more and quickly said, "I've got a cold and don't feel too great. Don't hug me so tight-I can't breathe."

Selena immediately let go, grabbing her hands and looking her up and down. "What happened? How did you catch a cold? Did you get chilled? Wait here I'll make you some ginger tea." And with that, Selena sped off to the kitchen like a whirlwind.
