Our definition here is 'Grow', and our answer will be another word for that.
This clue's indicators are 'closer to' and 'shared between'. One of these is a fairly straightforward (albeit somewhat disguised) selection indicator, pointing out the position of a specific letter in neighbouring fodder. The other uses one piece of fodder to describe how two other pieces relate to each other. This is not a standard indicator at all - good luck!
This clue's fodder is 'Hannah', 'time', '8', and '10'. We'll need to find straightforward substitutes for three of these and use them with one or more letters from the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
