However, if you were to add "embrace" to the sentence, its part of speech would depend on how you use it. Here are some examples:
* Verb: "She ran forward to Charlie and embraced him." Here, "embraced" is the action she performs.
* Noun: "She ran forward to Charlie, hoping for a warm embrace." Here, "embrace" is the object of her desire.
