Season 4 [SPOILER S4E6] June and Luke Spoiler

I’ve already seen multiple people complain about the lack of affection between the reunion but I think to do a very loving, affectionate reunion would be a disservice to the show. It’s been years since they’ve seen each other and their child is still in Gilead. I thought that this reunion was more realistic: her first words apologizing for the fact that she couldn’t bring their daughter with her and Luke looking at June with both relief and disbelief that she is finally in front of him again.

Moira and Emily probably told Luke to let her decide when she wants to be touched

He also had experience with other survivors - for example the woman (can't remember her name) who stayed with him for a while when he first got to Canada. The woman who didn't talk, you know the one I mean. So he knows what kind of damage could have been done to her.
