“Her head-tilt and smile plus the way she leans into into the hug seems to reflect poses with friends from her own childhood suggesting she’s evoking memories of much earlier and cuter friendship rituals from her youth.”

The pictures were shared by Kelly on social media with the caption: “When we speak about the people in our lives who lift us up when you need it with undeniable force of pure love I think of these two.
