No context: I was only provided with this sentence. I can understand the literal meaning of this sentence, and I think this is a kind of metaphoric expression. Would you provide what this sentence is going to say? Thanks in advance.

"Squish" is a valid word
but rather an odd one to use all the same.
Oxford English Dictionary definition:
Squish, noun, a slight squelching sound.
Verb 1: to move with a squish;
Verb 2 (transitive, colloquial) to squash, squeeze.
So it is the second verb meaning you have here.
I don't think it's a metaphor, I think they both have a hand in the same glove and one is squeezing (or squishing!) the other's hand.

Comment: "Thank you so much. I needed some explanation before acutually translating it into another language. As in your explanation, "squish" is a valid word, and it has an entry even in English-Japanese dictionaries. I could also understand what the sentence is going to say.
Thanks a lot.

I squeezed one of his artistic....
I would think that "squish" is a misspelling of "squeezed" (by context, of course)
What I understand is that these two people are in love and it is a cold day, that's why "a glove" is involved.
Greetings :o)
