As his arms closed she let her lips come open.
She looked up at Eric, and his arms closed around her.
He was trying to embrace her but each time his arms closed around nothing.
The large man seized my arm and the door closed behind me.
His arms closed about it and he struck out for the surface.
Then, without further hesitation, my arms closed once more about her.
She staggered against him and his arms closed about her.
The arrangement causes the two arms to open and close together.
Her arm, now free, closed around his neck to pull him closer.
She slipped through before the mechanical arm could close it again.
