Embrace beau? (7)
I believe the answer is:
squeeze
I believe this is a double definition.
'embrace' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'beau?' is the second definition.
(both can mean a boyfriend)
(Other definitions for squeeze that I've seen before include "Apply pressure (for money?)" , "Extract juice from (eg, lemon)" , "Grip tightly" , "Press firmly (on all sides)" , "Dash out of the tube" .)
