One who’s stiff-hearted gives a half-hearted grip, an emotional so-what, as if unmeshed cogs have skipped and locked. Somewhat cool, but such a let-me-down of indifference becomes a warm pick-me-up of consequence when that hug is heart-felt and mutual. A memory of good times shared and a respect that binds the two like-minds. There's nothing like a good hug between friends.
