Ada loved her family very much, and they loved her.
But they were all still stuck on their mental image of her as that little girl of eleven, screaming in pain and rage whenever someone touched her emerging scales. Uncle Chester had kissed the top of her head and told her they were happy to have her home, and that had been it for physical (or emotional) contact for the last few months, save for the cats.
"Uh-huh. Or when I wake up t' discover you've decided m' chest is your pillow," she said, slipping an arm around his waist. "An' I gotta try not t' giggle b'cause you're too cute an' I don't wanna wake you up."
It generally all ended in kisses anyway, on lazy, dreamy mornings like that.
