Sam gives Jonah a squeeze.
She takes a blast from the wine glass.
squeeze = hug?
blast = gulp?
Many thanks!

I'd say a 'squeeze' was a bit more sexual than a 'hug'.

But I bet you don't then head for the wine- the combination suggests more to me. Maybe I just have a dirty mind. ;-(

That must be it Tdol (the dirty mind thing) .... I have a glass of wine every evening with my supper. I very often give my daughter a squeeze at that time. Do you have lascivious thoughts about toothpaste too? hehe

No, but I rarely mix toothpaste and wine.
