Richard held out a hand in invitation for everyone to sit.

She was now quite close to him, opening her arms in invitation.

There is nothing sexual in his invitation, the girls find.

And then he put out his hand in silent invitation.

He turned and held out his arms in silent invitation.

He held one twisted hand out toward the open door in invitation.

He was directly below her, holding his arms wide in invitation.

But she did not hear the compassion in his invitation.

He moved slowly toward her and held out his arms in silent invitation.

She inclined her head in invitation toward the dead man.
