holding tight
Not letting go
Holding tight is gripping firmly, refusing to let go—whether literally clutching something or figuratively maintaining a position: Hold tight to the railing, She's holding tight to her principles.
The phrase often appears as reassurance or instruction: Hold tight, we're almost there.
To hold someone tight is to embrace them closely.
