Because I've complained about the lack of such things in these books before...

I had a stupidly happy grin on my face when Perrin gave Mat a hug. It was a genuine, sweet moment in which you could really believe these guys were 'best friends' back in the Two Rivers. It wasn't as touching as the Ron/Harry hug in Deathly Hollows (I'll say no more), but it was so adorable somehow.

Am I alone? Even if the scene ended with Perrin 'easing the badger'--I loved that scene.

Other lovely moments: Galad sees Morgase. Awww... Rand cries in Tam's arms. Then he introduces his girlfriend. It was sweet.

And although Olver's POV was short, I liked how he felt he had to take care of Mat. I wasn't thrilled with Mat's many fond remebrances of Tylin throughout this book, but I liked his sweetly paternal thoughts of Olver.

And I must admit, I liked the idea of Teslyn coming to Mat's rescue in the fight with the gholam.
