AUTHENTIC MOMENT

Today my attention was drawn to this boy and girl. They were hugging for a long time.
Then they talked, while the boy had his hands on the girl all the time. Hugging, talking and again hugging.
I could not figure out if it was a hug of expressing love or support. Maybe something bad happened.
I observed them a long time. I was fascinated by the strong emotion. It was so authentic.
They didn't care and see who was watching or taking photos.
The girl didn't have her hands on him.

What was going on here?​
