she hugged me for a while like 15 seconds. she said take care in her low gentle voice...there was no wasit contact.. then she squeezed me briefly...it kinda hurt.. then she turned her back on me, never giving eye contact, even as she shut the door...she was leaving for good. she was saying take care as she walks away with her back turned to me...
it was her last day at work...shes around 10 years my senior...she was sort of my supervisor....despite my name vincent, im female...uhm, no dirty ideas..but what does that mean when she didnt give me eye contact even?
as she closes the door carefully, there wasnt even a smile, but she wasnt looking back at me...
shes a very nice person, very thoughtful..shed praise me when i did a good job..i just sort of felt 'snubbed' when i wasnt looked back at...

sounds like she was sad to be leaving and is going to miss you. maybe there was no eye contact b/c she was tearing up.

It sounds like that is an emotional type of hug, showing caring, comfort, and maybe she is sentimental about leaving that job. I think it's an expression of gratitude and wanting to hug someone so that it can be felt for a long time.
When she didn't look back, maybe she had a tear? I don't know. Saying bye is never easy for sure.

Sounds like a badly written dime novel to me.
Have a nice day!
