The simplest answers
It was bedtime, and usually, after the stories, I will spend some time cuddling with Rae and talking to her.
One of yesterday's little conversations went like this:
Rae: Cody likes to come near me and hug me tight tight (face wasn't very happy - Rae doesn't like too close contact with anyone except her dad, for some reason. Even I can't hug or kiss her without asking nicely first or she will get annoyed)
Mommy: Why do you think he likes to do that?
Rae: Because I'm right there!
Well, that explains everything.
